Join us in The Gardens at Elm Bank, as world plant explorer, Fred Wiseman, shares his experiences tracking down seeds that represent the agricultural and culinary history of the Northeast Wabanaki tribe. Dr. Wiseman, archeologist, indigenous rights activist, author and Wabanaki tribe member, has worked with indigenous communities in Vermont for years to restore tribal food systems and increase food and seed sovereignty. By reintroducing ancient crops, agricultural practices and cuisine, the Wabanaki tribe has regained a vibrant cultural identity nearly lost over the past 100 years. Learn about these ancient foods and techniques and try them in your own food gardens at home! A true ethnobotanic detective story with practical take-home knowledge!
Come early and enjoy a peaceful stroll through our beautiful gardens here at Elm Bank, situated along the tranquil headwaters of the Charles River!
