Soul of Food: For the Love of Greens (Walt L. Shamel Garden)

Whether for daily sustenance, holy days, celebrations, luck, or other rituals, greens of all sorts have been an integral part of the foodways of African and Indigenous diasporas for centuries. Join us to discuss the splendor of greens and their relevance in Afro-Indigenous diasporas, as well as prepare a few dishes that highlight their versatility in the kitchen.

This session is a continuation of The Soul of Food, a Deep Routes workshop series honoring the foodways that connect plants, peoples, and lands across Afro-Indigenous diasporas.

This event is hosted by NYC Parks GreenThumb. We are proud to be the nation’s largest urban community gardening program, sustaining over 550 gardens throughout New York City. With GreenThumb’s support, community gardens are centers of environmental justice, ensuring that our city is fairer, safer, and greener for all. GreenThumb’s events are free and open to the public.
