In the threshold of the season, summer calls back to everyone with balmy breezes and trees that still cling to their leaves, reminding us that our environment is in constant flux. Our gardens act as a living history book, teaching us about this evolving scenery, and acting as a space to further connect with the land. During Indigenous Peoples’ Weekend, join in and learn about the people, the cultures, and the communities that have contributed to greenspaces like ours and other landscapes.
