- Hello! My name is Mahnoor andwelcome to my garden! Today I am going to be sharing with you my journey and connecting this process with the idea of immigrants and culture, as discussed in week 9 of our class.
- The topic I have chosen to focus on with connection to my gardening process is regarding immigration and culture. This topic was first introduced to me through the week 9 Ted Talk "How community gardens preserve the culture and grow hope" by Marissa Karate.

- Culture and Immigrants with Regards to Gardening?
- In this TEDx Talk (2019), Marissa Karate talks about how gardening has always been used as a way to preserve the many cultures and traditions that exist around the world. It is discussed how as immigrants, there is often an assimilation of culture and language in an attempt to fit in, which can often lead to the gradual loss of this critical connection to our homelands. Further, Marissa highlights how food can bridge this gap and keep culture thriving, especially when ingredients are made fresh in people's very own gardens. Indeed, not only can this make up for a lack of certain cultural ingredients that are hard to find in local grocery stores, but can also help to save money and promote food security. In addition, these gardens can be kept nurtured throughout generations of families or be made into community gardens that can connect local families together and create safe spaces for generations of immigrants.
