What do climate change and reconciliation have to do with your garden? I’m Alison Ralph, a writer and gardener living on the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit.
When the COVID-19 pandemic began, 1 in 5 Canadians took up gardening for the first time. Maybe you did too. If you’re like me, spending time in the garden has raised so many questions, from practical things like what to plant, to the philosophical, connecting with the earth and the people around me.
That’s why I’m launching The Unsettled Garden, a podcast about the politics of gardening in Canada. We’re going to hear from leading experts like Dancing Water Sandy, Dr. Wendy Makoons Geniusz, Jacqueline L. Scott, and Lorraine Johnson, about our colonized landscape, and how gardens have a role to play in climate change, community building, and decolonization.
Whether you’re a new or experienced gardener, this podcast has something for you, so go ahead and follow The Unsettled Garden wherever you listen to podcasts.
