Join New England Botanic Garden for the first event featured in People & Plants: A Community Lecture Series, a FREE online webinar series featuring thought leaders who are advancing plant knowledge, fostering community, fighting injustice, and championing the preservation of vital ecosystems. An influential urban farmer, community organizer, and food-justice advocate, Karen Washington is celebrated for transforming how communities understand land, nourishment, and equity. Her grassroots leadership began in the Bronx in the 1980s. Today, she is a co-owner and farmer at Rise & Root Farm in Chester, New York, and serves as a leading voice on efforts to recognize how systemic inequities shape food access in marginalized communities.
