On Wednesday, August 26 at 7-8pm EST // 4pm-5pm PST, Eco-Stewards will be hosting a conversation with Steven Medina and Katerina Friesen of the Insight Garden Program (IGP), a California-based justice organization that transforms prisoners’ lives through connection to nature.“IGP’s mission is to facilitate an innovative curriculum combined with vocational gardening and landscaping training so that people in prison can reconnect to self, community, and the natural world. This “inner” and “outer” gardening approach transforms lives, ends ongoing cycles of incarceration, and creates safer communities.” This model is a real solution to some of the most pressing issues impacting prisoners and people in reentry.
