Soil: The Story of a Black Mother’s Garden (Virtual #PBG0161 400001)
Wednesday | February 5 | 7:00 – 8:15 pm FREE | Registration required
Sponsored by Friends of Brookside Gardens

Camille Dungy, poet and author

Camille recounts the seven-year odyssey to diversify her garden through the lens of being a Black mother living in a predominately white community. Through the metaphor of converting her garden from a monoculture lawn to a native prairie, she reveals how cultivating diverse perspectives in our national discourse about the environment is the best means of protecting it.
