About this Event
Join us at Sycamore Community Garden in Concord, NH as we kick off our first Guest Speaker Series event of the season!
Jess Stone, owner of Cold Spring Farm in CT and of Abenaki descent, will be leading this interactive gardening workshop. Attendees will have the opportunity to assist with preparing the soil and planting culturally relevant seeds (corn, beans, and squash) for a traditional Three Sisters Companion planting.
Conversations will also include the opportunity to learn more about the Abenaki peoples and why the Three Sisters are valued. At the end of this workshop, further storytelling and ceremony of Abenaki heritage will be incorporated.
This event will be a great opportunity to collaborate with local community members in our new shared Educational Garden space at SCG. 50% of the harvest will later be donated to Abenaki Helping Abenaki Food Bank. This event has been made possible by sponsor: The Walker Lecture Fund. The seeds have been donated from the Abenaki Seeds Project.
If able, please plan to bring gardening tools (shovel, hoe, and/or gloves) as we have a limited supply.
Also, plan to dress for weather - rain or shine, work shoes, hats, sunscreen, and bring water.
If you have any questions, please reach out to us at [email protected].
These events are free to the public, individuals may send in donations if they so choose.
