We are back with a continuation of Black Plant Faves! This season, we kicked off with an insightful discussion between African American culture and the popularity of various plants, flowers, and herbs. To truly uncover the “Black Plant Faves,” we took to the streets and hit the soil!  

This Summer, we had the incredible opportunity to attend the Soil Festival in Atlanta, Georgia. The Soil Festival is a fun, family-friendly event focused on urban agriculture and our local food leaders. As an enthusiastic gardener and compost advocate, attending this event was a no-brainer for Black in the Garden. 

At the festival, we connected with some amazing Soil Cousins and lovers of lush landscapes, farming, and more. We received some expected answers and some surprising ones on our quest to discover what people love in their kitchens, backyards, and decor. 

Tune in for a fun and enlightening discussion at the Soil Festival, where we delve deeper into the Black Plant Faves. 

Special Thank you to our Soil Cousins who contributed to the conversation: Jess, Kia, Ayanna, Raphael, Andrea and Jenn, Randolf,  Ale Sharpton of BrewGether
