Take a look at the 2020 Plant a Seed kit with Kim, talk about how to use it and explore the stories of the seeds. Lauren leads a backyard biodiversity exploration to conduct an audit of local plants, animals, and insect species found in her garden and backyard in order to better understand the importance of living in a biodiverse world and what that means for our food system. We will document our findings on a map and by creating a photo gallery to make comparisons at a later date.
