Modern ice cream production and the plants that create some of our favorite flavors are possible thanks to the brilliance of Black and Indigenous people. During this session we’ll learn about the contributions of these people alongside the stories of plants like vanilla, sorghum, sorrel, and blueberries as we create ice creams infused with their flavors. If you want to develop your ice cream making skills and plant knowledge you won’t wanna miss this session! NYC Parks GreenThumb hosts this event. We are proud to be the nation’s most extensive urban community gardening program, sustaining over 550 gardens throughout New York City. With GreenThumb’s support, community gardens are centers of environmental justice, ensuring that our city is fairer, safer, and greener for all. GreenThumb’s events are free and open to the public.
