Part I: Soil & Seeds
...The soil or lack thereof
is a part of the system
that determines what grows
in our garden.
Our individual and collective health
from the food we grow
starts in the Universe
and ends with the positive
and/or negative energy
we combine with our intent
and seeds. These seeds feed off
the energy we put out
and into our garden.
‐ Excerpt from What Grows in Your Garden? by Obiora EmbryTwin brothers, Obiora and Irucka Ajani, were raised in a house in the inner city where their family created an orchard that included Apple (two varieties), Pecan, Peach, Apricot, Cherry, Pear, Pin Oak, Eastern Red Cedar, and Common Hackberry trees. There were also Blackberries, Huckleberries, Gooseberries, and Grapes (two varieties). As adults (with degrees in engineering), they have returned to their food growing roots and, like the late Dr. George W. Carver, they are doing "a common activity in an uncommon way".
Sankofa is an Asante Adinkra symbol that means "go back and get it", and for the purpose of this workshop, we are saying: "let’s resurrect ideas and thoughts from the past as we move forward". We are in the midst of a paradigm shift in which food growers are at a fork in the road and have to decide which way to go: to either continue on the trajectory of depleting the remaining nutrients in the soil or bring back ideas from the past to restore soil vitality.
As engineers by training, we bring technical and scientific knowledge along with Nature observations & an innate desire to help others re‐think how food is grown.
During this workshop, we will discuss our diverse ways to improve soil health (and therefore plant health), and ultimately our health & drop knowledge on seeds.
