SUMMARY:SEEDS\, SUN\, AND SOIL. HOW STARTING A VEGETABLE GARDEN CAN PROVIDE MORE THAN DINNER.
DESCRIPTION:SEEDS\, SUN\, AND SOIL. HOW STARTING A VEGETABLE GARDEN CAN PROVIDE MORE THAN DINNER. \nThis presentation is for anyone thinking about starting a home garden\, but isn’t sure where to begin. We will cover the basic steps needed to successfully grow food in your own backyard as well as discuss the many benefits of having a home garden. Presented by Matt and Deanna Tregoning. Hosted in partnership with the Northville Public Library. \nMatt and Deanna Tregoning are the former owners of Sol to Seed Farm in WA state. They both grew up in Michigan and have recently relocated back to the Chelsea area after living in WA for the past 24 years. They farmed on 5 acres of land and sold their produce at farmer’s markets and through a community-supported agriculture program (CSA). Since they have retired from farming\, they continue to grow food in a small garden in their backyard. They have a wealth of knowledge on how to start a small garden for personal use as well as how to grow food on a larger scale. Although they have retired from farming\, Matt continues to work part-time at a title and escrow company and Deanna is a nurse practitioner at Henry Ford Allegiance in Jackson. They are both passionate about growing their own food and enjoy the multiple benefits having a garden provides. \n  \nJoin Zoom Meeting – https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87000612783?pwd=Nks0Qm1PSlFWNDBaaTc4ZGExNEFNUT09 \nMeeting ID: 870 0061 2783 \nPasscode: 106793

Using popular culture as a point of reference for their critiques\, the Ko sisters engage in a groundbreaking analysis of the compartmentalized nature of contemporary social movements\, present new ways of understanding interconnected oppressions\, and offer conceptual ways of moving forward expressive of Afrofuturism and Black veganism.” (from the back cover)Each essay in this collection merits lengthy discussion\, so for this book club meeting\, in order to be able to delve deeper and grapple with the issues presented\, we would like to focus on these chapters: \n\n3. #AllVegansRock\, by Aph Ko(pp. 13-19)\n5. Why Confusion Is Necessary for Our Activism to Evolve\, by Aph Ko\, (pp. 28-32)\n8. Addressing Racism Requires Addressing the Situation of Animals\, by Syl Ko (pp. 44-49)\n9.

We will ask you to share the quote with the group and why it is important to you or why it stood out.\nBring questions about something from the reading that you do not understand and want to explore further.\n\nTo get the book: \n\nBorrow it from your local library–if they don’t own it\, request it through inter-library loan (and also request that the library purchase it!)\nPurchase it used:\n\nThrift Books: https://www.thriftbooks.com/browse/?b.search=aphro-ism#b.s=mostPopular-desc&b.p=1&b.pp=30&b.oos&b.tile\nAbebooks: https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?sts=t&cm_sp=SearchF-_-home-_-Results&tn=aphro-ism\n\n\nPurchase it new through a local\, independent bookseller: Indiebooks: https://www.indiebound.org/\nIt is also available for Kindle and as an audiobook.\n\nLearn more about Aph Ko and her work at her website Black Vegans Rock.\nFor more information about Syl Ko and her work\, check out this interview: Asibey\, Andreann & Gemma McNeil\, “A seat at the table with Syl Ko: a discussion on Black veganism.” The McGill Daily\, January 16\, 2018. \n\nFor a taste of the issues explored in the book\, take a look at this interview with both authors: Gueraseva\, Julie\, “Interview with Aph Ko and Syl Ko: The writers and activists on the entanglements of race\, species and gender.” Laika Magazine\, 12/13/2019\n\n  \nJOIN ZOOM MEETING \nYou are invited to a Zoom meeting.
