Nourishing Our Roots: Live music, food, plant seeds and more

Community members will have the opportunity to taste food by James Beard Award semifinalist Chef Hardette, hear from Black farmers, take home seeds to plant, and much more.

Shreveport Green says free cooking demonstrations will be to sample traditional black dishes featuring Chef Mosa of Sassi Catering and Chef Hardette.

This coming Monday, February 17, volunteering begins at 10 a.m. to get your hands into the soil, plant a seed in the garden and take home seeds and pots. The event continues until 1:30 p.m. at the Shreveport Green Urban Farm.

They will host a ‘Black Farmer Reflection,’ during which the community will hear from local farmer Lee Washington and share his experience, insight from the land, and movements to impact locally.

It is free and open to the public, stroll through the Shreveport Green Urban Farm and an opportunity to meet your community.

The Boys and Girls Club of North Louisiana will volunteer in the community garden at 10 a.m. The event continues until 1:30 p.m., and it is within walking distance of the Krewe of Harambee MLK Parade at 1034 Sprague Street, Shreveport.
