Cultivating Place: Robin Wall Kimmerer On Gardening And Citizenship

On this Fourth of July – Cultivating Place is pleased to be in conversation with Dr. Robin Wall Kimmerer, author of “Braiding Sweetgrass: indigenous wisdom, scientific knowledge and the teachings of plants.” Together we explore the interrelationship between gardening and citizenship. She states: "I think that is our deepest longing - to belong to each other and to belong to this larger community of life and for me this notion of tending the garden at all the scales we’ve been implying here is a powerful way to belong." Join us!

 
Cultivating Place now has a donate button! We thank you so much for listening over the years and we hope you'll support Cultivating Place.
