Kanchan Dawn Hunter is co-director of the Spiral Gardens Community Food Security Project, which operates as a nursery, a community garden, a foodshed, and an education resource that welcomes anyone and all in the community to participate.
As a single Black mother and farmer, she has learned about legacy and the importance of nurturing that connection to land early on in life. She shares with us her own relationship history with the land, notably “making room where she could” to grow what she could and the journey she has taken--which ultimately took the form of building a ladder behind her in the form of Spiral Gardens, which she helped found in the late 1990s.
