Staff report
The Jemez Historic Site is launching a new monthly series called “Gardens at Gisewa,” which will focus on agriculture and food as medicine. The program will begin on March 30, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Jemez Historic Site.
The inaugural event will feature a shared meal of corn, beans and squash stew. A ranger will then provide an overview of the season’s programming, emphasizing the connection between ancestral agricultural practices and modern well-being. Participants will be able to engage in a hands-on seed planting station and receive seeds, soil, and containers to take home.
Admission is $7 for adults and free for children 16 and younger, New Mexico residents 60+ (with a NM ID), Native-Tribal community members, disabled veterans and foster families.
The “Gardens at Gisewa” program aims to celebrate the power of food, community, and culture within the scenic setting of the Jemez Historic Site.
