The Lawrence Public Library is hosting a celebration of the new Living Roots book featuring a book signing, community connections, and perennial treats. Authors Liz Carlisle, Aubrey Streit Krug (Director of The Land Institute’s Perennial Cultures Lab), Megan Kaminski, Kelly Kindscher, and Jesse Nathan, as well as community leaders, will discuss key themes in the book and encourage attendees to share their perspectives.

Living Roots: The Promise of Perennial Foods incorporates perspectives from experts across numerous backgrounds and lived experiences to examine the promise of perennial foods such as perennial grains, indigenous food forests, fruit trees, nuts, berries, and more for sustaining communities and protecting the health of our shared planet.
