Join us in the garden to plant crops of the African diaspora that will be used in some of our culinary workshops this year! We’ll discuss the journeys of Afro-Indigenous plants like greens, peas, and grains, and go through the process of how to transplant and direct sow these plants for successful growth.

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.

This workshop is part of the sixth annual Open Garden NYC, which will take place for two days on Saturday, June 3 and Sunday, June 4, 2023 (rain or shine) at community gardens across the city! For more information and to see all of the Open Garden NYC events, visit our website.
