Thank you to everyone who was part of the Home Grown workshop last weekend!
Led by Sindhi-Jamaican educator, artist and plant steward Alisha Lettman, we came together to grow edible plants and explore: What does it mean to grow food ‘from home’ as a migrant in a new home? How do seeds and plants connect us across cultures and borders?
We loved the joy of seed sharing and the chaos of code switching between languages figuring out what different plants are called and how they’re used in different parts of the world.
This workshop was presented in partnership with the Richmond Multicultural Community Society. Thank you to our sponsors Urban Bounty and Westcoast Seeds for their generous seed donations, and the City of Richmond for letting us use the beautiful Rooftop Garden.
This project was made possible with financial support from the Government of British Columbia.
