A GARDENING BOOK CLUB

STAY ROOTED

This monthly gathering invites community members to reconnect with ancestral knowledge through the lens of plants, stories, and shared traditions. Each month, we center a plant or gardening practice—exploring its culinary, medicinal, and cultural significance—and pair it with a book (fiction or nonfiction) that highlights
Black farming, gardening, herbalism, or land-based storytelling.
