Naturalist Symposium

Seeds of Change: Planting the Future with Gardening, Regenerative Agriculture, and Sustainable Living

Speaker Day

Saturday
March 8th, 8:45 am - 3:30pm

Join us at the Columbus Botanical Garden for our first day of the naturalist symposium to learn about regenerative agriculture, gardening, and sustainable solutions that you can implement whether you own acres of land, or are living in the middle of a neighborhood here in Columbus. We are excited to be hosting a great lineup of speakers educating our audience on our local food systems, gardening and how we can implement some of these practices more sustainably in our daily lives. Our speaker day will be capped with a keynote presentation by Jenni Harris of White Oak Pastures, a zero-waste, radically traditional regenerative farm in southwest Georgia.

Jenni Harris
Keynote Speaker

Jenni Harris is the Director of Marketing for White Oak Pastures, a family farm in South Georgia with a focus on "radically traditional" and sustainable farming practices. They believe "farming must not only be sustainable, it has to be regenerative" and have shifted their practices away from pesticides, herbicides, hormones, and antibiotics and have instead focused on building a farm that practices humane animal husbandry and environmental sustainability.
