The BIPOC-youth-run garden began as a response to COVID-19 and has continued to grow and expand in its second summer. The garden is a collaboration between Wa Na Wari, Seattle Public Library, YES Farm, The Black Farmers Collective, and EarthCorps. The project aims to educate and uplift BIPOC youth by fostering food sovereignty and honoring sacred land and Indigenous practices while building community.”
