Urban Gardening - Freedom and Financial Security: How Gardens Unite, Enrich, and Empower a Community
Description:
Saturday, June 19 | 10:30am – 12pm In the spirit of Juneteenth, we are celebrating emancipation in this workshop, which explores the roots of community freedom and security through expertise in and stewardships of the land. Tracing the legacies of such individuals as Alethia Tanner and founders of Barry Farm/Hillsdale, the workshop will look at how "freedom" can be found in the green spaces of our communities. Garden facilitator, Derek Thomas, will harvest and compost the spring vegetables and explore the role of pollinator plants in the garden.
