I love this song! Mort Garson’s Plantasia!

And if you have an idea but don't want to facilitate that is okay too!

Please offer breakout groups in a sticky note!

I’m loving this music. Thank you!

again if you want live captioning in your breakout room, please message Sarah with WHICH group you want that in

The diaspora garden group will be about diaspora gardens in general, what a Jewish diasporic garden could look like, and then we'll zoom in on the current variety and future varieties.

Regional trial group will be thinking about growing seeds in different places!

im captioning but stoked on buckwheat

Same jack, excited about buckwheat

Now im wondering if softneck or hardneck would be the jewish one lol or both!

Love garlic!!

love garlic!!

I feel like radishes would also be a jewish seed for me personally, one of my favorites to grow to keep my garden enthusiasm

Ian/Yosef Hertzmark

I think its definitely important to recognize that displacement, and possibly even find alternatives to grow to help make sure those oppressive systems aren't still supported

Thank you!

Very interested to grow!

Also interested in being a grower!

Suburban farmer in southeast
