Take a thoughtful deep dive into food and farming traditions with Michael Carter Jr., who kicks off the Piedmont Master Gardeners’ spring lecture series with Africulture and Unique Organic Vegetables You’ll Want in Your Home Garden. Carter highlights how people of African descent have contributed to U.S. agriculture, and will also introduce organically grown plants and African tropical vegetables from Carter Farms. Carter is also director of Africulture, a nonprofit that “highlights, shares, and enhances the principles, practices, plants and people of African descent that have and continue to contribute to the time-honored, dignified field and vocation of agriculture.”
