Regenerating Land-People Connection
Too many humans have lost touch with the soil and our food.
And too much soil is damaged from poison.
Regeneration requires us to sink our hands and our hearts in the soil once again.
To heal ourselves, as much as to heal the land and our more-than-human community members.
Rē joined forces with Amesbury Rec Dept and Amesbury: MASS Arts Council Hosted at Camp Kent Nature Center Thanks to community support, we grew tomatoes, okra, squash and more. Over 70 pounds of food was donated to a local organization that supports vulnerable families, and many members of the community got the chance to engage with the garden in a meaningful way.
This garden is made possible by people such as Isabel.
Isabel is a recent UNH graduate with a passion for gardening and building community. Her studies included a BA in Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems and minors in Native American and Indigenous Studies as well as History. Her work focused on educational gardens including those at museums and at the schools she has attended. Her goal is to empower others to learn and care about the food system, nature, and the history and cultures that have stewarded the land for generations. Her work with Rē is to create a community garden in Amesbury to ground the organization locally while creating healthy food that will be donated to the town’s food pantry.
Love Garden
The garden in the NorthEastern community of Amesbury, MA was inspired by the powerful experience of Rē’s Mico-fram garden in our rural South Central community of Fayetteville, TN.
