Planting a Garden and Finding Your Roots:
Hungry for History Series
Wednesday, March 19 at 11 am at Branch Station
Susan Apps-Bodilly
Explore gardening as a way to dig deeper and take learning outdoors while hearing about Susan’s personal experiences gardening with her family. Apps-Bodilly, author of Seeds In Soil, Planting a Garden and Finding Your Roots will share how digging in the soil helps you think about others who gardened in history as well as how food connects us to each other today.
The talk includes learning how to “think like a historian” by using primary source documents related to gardens to discover our state’s history. The inquiry strategy of “observe, think, wonder” encourages you to think in new ways, collaborate, and research our garden history. The presentation includes ideas for theme gardens, crafts, and ways to get started putting seeds in soil.
This program is part of the Hungry for History series.
