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 just under two hours long, and usually entails a walk around the farmland and standing up for most of that time. If that doesn't work for you, let us know & we can make appropriate accommodations. Bring comfortable shoes you don't mind getting dirty, and bring along some water. The workshop is outside, but please bring a mask for when we’re closer than 6ft from each other.

Admission is donation based, and no one will be turned away for lack of funds. If would like to make a donation, it will be collected at the end of the workshop via credit card, text-to-donate, check or cash.

Space is limited for this workshop, please register here in advance!
