Seeding a Vibrant Afro-Indigenous Garden

Gather with us in the garden for seed starting and transplanting alongside stories of Afro-Indigenous crops! During our time together, we’ll connect and ground ourselves with various seeds relevant to African and Indigenous diasporas. In tandem with a guided walkthrough of techniques and ways to troubleshoot, participants will get hands-on practice to sow their own seedlings and transplant them into garden beds. This session commences The Soul of Food, a Deep Routes workshop series honoring the foodways that connect plants, peoples, and lands across Afro-Indigenous diasporas.
