Story and song introduce the ancient traditions of Native American gardening. Slides, hands-on activities, games and a demonstration of gardening plans and techniques show how to plan, plant and tend a historically-accurate Native garden. This workshop shares how to preserve ancient plant varieties—to participate in gardening as part of the Circle of Life. We also explore the harvest, recipes and suggestions for garden crafts and games. Michael draws from his book: Native American Gardening: Stories, Projects and Recipes for Families.
