In Golboo Amani’s Garden Skool, workshops with local earthworkers operate as sites for community skill-sharing and knowledge exchange, repurposing the University’s landscape as a space rich with pedagogical potential outside the traditional classroom structure. Developed as an accessible and inclusive project for sharing alternative land practices, Garden Skool fosters a deeper appreciation of our natural surroundings by mobilizing creative methods of learning about the land with the land. It prioritizes diverse perspectives and voices, often including earthworkers and knowledge-keepers with unique skillsets and distinct backgrounds in order to bring to light the many methods of cultivating and understanding the land. In this iteration of Garden Skool, titled “Soil On Which We Stand,” Melisse Watson led a workshop focused on identifying soil, plants, trees, and flowers as relatives and elders, that inform the deepening of our relationships to land. Participants were encouraged to observe, touch, and smell various soil samples collected from around the campus, noting the minute distinctions between them and heightening their senses of the earth. By adopting this non-traditional model of learning, Garden Skool breaks away from the inaccessible and exclusionary politics of institutionalized knowledge, reconfiguring our conception of pedagogy and relationship to the land.
