The Food Forest at Leslie Park
our guerilla gardening project
-
a 1/5 acre pollinator, herbal, flower, and native plant garden.
a community hub for free plant medicine, earth-centered ritual, and liberatory practices.
a holy ground for returning to the home of our bodies and our shared planet, again and again. for living in the truth of love, ancestry, and indigenous stewardship practice.
-
a multiracial team of queers and trans people, elders, children with a shared reverence for the earth and her/their intelligence.
we do not “plant the land.”
we listen deeply for instructions.
we yield to the whispered wishes of Tree, Spider, Flower, Grasshopper, Water.
we throw down for our tiny but mighty patch of the liberatory world we are creating.

this space teaches me every day. it’s here that i began to, quite literally, touch the earth. know soil. respect who colonizers call “weeds” but we remember as friends and allies and medicine.
