While Vanilla (aka Tlilxochitl in Nahuatl) is sometimes used to indicate something basic or credited to European culture, the full narrative of this plant is far from that. This can be seen both in its journeys through time being stewarded by Indigenous and Afro-Diaspora peoples, as well as the processes that make it possible for us to enjoy it in our favorite sweets.

Join us this Saturday @brooklynbotanic Making Brooklyn Bloom conference to connect and reflect with vanilla (we’ll make some extracts!!) while learning more about its stories throughout time and interdependence with beings across the ecosystem.

TIME SLOTS: 11am-12pm AND 3-4pm

FREE Admission but on-site registration for workshops starts at 10am and typically fill up quickly at this conference, so it’s beneficial to get there on time.

✨We’ll also be tabling at the conference so if you want to learn more about the project, how to get involved, or snatch up some Deep Routes freebies and giveaways, stop by and say “hi” ✨
