What Our Gardens Teach Us (Part 1)

  • Résumé

  • This episode (which is part 1 of 2) explores stories of gardens: what they teach us, the medicine they offer, and the connections they allow us to make between the lands we live on and our homelands. Angela shares her own story of gardening, and we also share some highlights of our recent event, Planting Good Relations, which featured a panel discussion with a number of Native American and Pacific Islander leaders who steward community gardens here in the Salt Lake City area.

    Look for part 2 in January 2023!
