We recently had the opportunity to talk with Jasmine Jefferson from blackgirlswithgardens for a Garden Story!
Jasmine says, "I created Black Girls With Gardens to provide representation, inspiration, support, and education to women (and girls) of color navigating in gardening. I wanted to come together and be a source for people who look like myself to help us feel a little more comfortable in places that we typically wouldn’t feel comfortable in and have a space to talk about gardening. People of color associated growing food with slavery and I wish to assist my community to understanding that we grew food long before slavery."
🌱She also recently created blackkidswithgardens! 😍
Jasmine hopes to inspire Black kids by celebrating and showing examples of thriving Black gardeners, letting them know that gardening is more than possible, whether it be as a passion project or full-time career.
