Hi all, it’s Haley the Director. Do you like to read? This is an amazing book called The Last Sweet Bite about how war affects the culinary traditions of different cultures (there is a chapter on the Rohingya of Burma, an ethnic group which is very present here at Global Gardens). Bookends & Beginnings, a book shop in Evanston, has a book club called Global Issues, Local Responses, and the next meeting on June 18th will focus on this book. I will be a guest speaker, joining Ana Croegaert (author of Bosnian Refugees in Chicago) and Laurell Sims of Evanston Grows, for a conversation at the meeting about food, gardening, and culture. The event is open to the public and you are not expected to read the whole book before attending. You can purchase a ticket for it at the link below and see more details there. Please note!!! ➡️ the cost of the ticket covers the book. Buy your ticket, then pick up the book at the store in Evanston. Or, I am happy to pick it up for you and bring it to our farm, where you can then retrieve it. Hope to see you there 📖🪻
