An educational, interactive garden party and workshop, hosted by Thrive New Orleans and facilitated by Reedy Brooks.
At the Garden Party, we'll explore the gardening and foraging traditions of Black New Orleanians. Guests will share food, thoughts, and ideas centered around the garden as a site of liberation, therapy, and resistance in Black African history and culture.
The event will feature music and small plates in honor of the phenomenal woman and leader, Leah Chase.
