Some plants earn their place in the garden by being beautiful. Others earn it by being useful. 🌿 Lemon balm does both. Enjoyed in teas, infused water, salads, and pollinator gardens, this fragrant herb has been a favorite for generations. How would you use lemon balm? #CommunityGarden

Strong communities start with strong local food systems. 🌱 When farmers, markets, and neighbors thrive together, communities gain greater access to fresh food, shared knowledge, and local resources. That’s food sovereignty in action. #FoodSovereignty

Every harvest carries a story.🌾 In 1920, Black farmers were 14% of US growers—today, less than 2%. Yet their legacy remains our cornerstone. Supporting Black-led agriculture invests in food sovereignty, land retention & health. Thank you for the future you grow!✊🏽🌱 #BlackFarmers

History deserves the full story. 🧵 On May 1, 1865, over 10,000 newly freed Black Charlestonians honored 257 Union soldiers with one of the first Memorial Day ceremonies in U.S. history. For decades, this story was overlooked. ♥️ Share to help preserve this history.
