Gardening As Resistance

Gardening as resistance! Gardening is where I find joy, peace, improved mental health, food-‘Outside” is my favorite room in the house I live in.
I somehow forgot that I could use this thing (which already feels exciting and within my wheelhouse) to plant some seeds (HAR!) of resistance with my kids and explain WHY we do the things we do. Thanks for the reminder!

When is it?
Gardening As Self-Care Day is June 6th
Weed Your Garden Day is June 13
National Invasive Species Awareness Week is in the last week of February, which is TERRIBLE timing for gardeners since there’s nothing to weed in late winter

I'm an Autistic, multiracial (Chinese/Irish) 2nd-generation settler raising two children alongside my partner on the homelands of the Wampanoag and Massachusett people.
My goal with Raising Luminaries is to collaborate with families and educators in raising the next generation of kind & courageous leaders, so we can all smash the kyriarchy together.
