Democratic Design, Heirloom Seed Saving, and Cultural Education at the EPNI Urban Farm

This project will share, celebrate, and preserve cultural heritage in the East Phillips neighborhood, paying mind to the high percentages of Indigenous, East African, African American, and Latinx communities. The project includes collaboration with elders and education institutions to develop a demonstration site plan that will provide workshops about cultural food, ceremonial medicines, and seed saving. The funding will provide venue and facilitation space, bring leaders and experts together to collaborate, assist with strategic planning, and compile data for future engagement.
