Description
Naima's father has always taken care of his garden as if he were hiding a secret within it. Naima couldn't help but wonder, 'how could such a tough person have such a tenderness to care for the plants, the fruits that grew on the trees, and the birds that latched on them.'
It wasn't until she re-entered that sacred space, a few years after painful events, that Naima began to unravel the precious mysteries her father nurtured within his garden.
In the midst of pain, that garden became the doorway to her interest in nature, caring for the little things, the simple things. She found life lessons hidden in the trees, discovered comfort in its presence, and drew meaning from its richness.
What did she learn and what is the wisdom hidden in every garden?
Join us as we immerse ourselves in the soft words of Naima's poetry, where, as a writer, poet, performer, and nature advocate, she unravels the emotions hidden within the heart of her father’s garden.
