Perennial plants are our guiding teachers for this Land Lesson. In this session, participants will explore the fascinating life cycles of tuberous perennial plants. An in depth look at what is happening underground during the cold seasons will serve as a launchpad for our own creative approaches to resource building, goal setting, and distribution for our communities. From the wisdom of these tubers and root systems, soil science, and microbiology we will have new perspectives for deepening our local and international solidarity.
Participants will get an opportunity to plant native perennials and even take some home! There will also be dancing!
This session begins at 10 AM Eastern Time for a four hour duration.
