About the event
How is gardening a tool for social and political change? What does it mean to say "gardening is for everyone" in this time and place? What can you do right where you are to make the world a better place?
Many of you may be familiar with this month's webinar guest, Jennifer Jewell, co-host of the NPR syndicated podcast Cultivating Place: Conversations on Natural History and the Human Impulse to Garden, and author of several books, including What We Sow, and The Earth In Her Hands, and Under Western Skies, Visionary Gardens from the Rockies to the Pacific Coast.
Recently, Jewell also launched the Cultivating Place Foundation, which works to create a world in which gardeners/stewards/growers and gardens/cultivated places are valued as powerful intersectional agents and spaces of positive growth and change in our world. You can read more about Jennifer's background here.
Some of you may have heard Jennifer speak recently, as she is this year's keynote speaker at both the Landscaping With Colorado Native Plants Conference in Fort Collins but also The Western Landscapes Symposium in Pueblo. We're bringing Jennifer back to her home state of Colorado (virtually) for this free webinar, to give everyone a chance to talk with her about the possibilities inherent in the intersection between places, environments, cultures, individuals, and the gardens that bring them together beautifully – for the better of all the lives on this generous planet.
Jennifer is in conversation every single week with inspiring people across the nation who have dedicated their lives to making the world a better, more just, healthy, and nourishing place through gardening. Don't miss this opportunity to hear her short talk with plenty of opportunity to ask questions, as well.
