New Mural brightening North State St.

…..Thanks to Renaissance Society member Leah Simon, Roots Remedy, a new mural is brightening North State Street at Meadowbrook. The mural, by Gavin Bird, was completed yesterday. According to Simon, the inspiration for the mural comes from the idea of connecting herbal plants like aloe vera, tea tree, chamomile, evening primrose, flax, echinacea, lavender and the cannabis plant.

…..“All of these herbal medicines are featured on the wall,” says Simon who notes that Roots Remedy is a plant-focused, patient-centered medical marijuana dispensary. “We wanted to express our passion for health on our exterior wall while continuing our dedication to beautifying Fondren! We expect this to be the most instagrammable spot in town!”
