History of the Land Workshop

The History of the Land workshop asks the question “What's happened right here?” We explore what Grow Dat's tract of land has looked like in the past – tracing Indigenous histories, stories of enslavement and emancipation, segregation, and Civil Rights, all the way to the present day. By looking thoughtfully and critically at these histories, we set the stage for a conversation about right land use in the future. This workshop is a great fit for anyone interested in local history, ecology, or thinking about what sustainability and justice would look like in our city. Come join the conversation!

This workshop is outside, two hours long, and usually entails a walk around the farm and standing for the duration of the workshop. We can make accommodations if that doesn’t work for you. In the event of inclement weather, we will reschedule. 

There is a suggested donation of $20-50 for this workshop, with no one turned away for lack of funds.
