The Living History Garden: Honoring Seeds, Stories, and Sovereignty
The Living History Garden is available for all to visit at the GFN Community Farm at 140 Meadow Street in Florence, MA.
Each year, we highlight crops suggested by members of our GFN community, allies, friends, and family to demonstrate seed saving as a tool for food sovereignty amid enslavement, forced migration, and colonization. These seeds carry the weight of history, telling powerful stories about the people who have cared for them across generations, and bridge us to the future by continuing to grow these crops.
Explore our 2026 Living History Garden Crops here digitally, and listen to interviews from community members – about this year’s crops and past year’s crops – in the section below.
