Semillas y Saberes: Cultivating Connection Through Gardening
Semillas y Saberes was created to show that gardening doesn’t have to be complicated: it’s about creating a space to connect with nature, grow your own food, and explore creative ways to use your harvest. From cooking to crafting, the possibilities are endless!
Our goal is for every visitor to walk away with simple, sustainable practices that can be adapted across all cultures, ages, and environments: making gardening an accessible tool for everyone to thrive.
