Conserving Diversity at Old Salem and Around the World

The Gardens of Old Salem are more relevant today than ever. Examine how regionally adapted food crops, locally sourced native plants, and long-standing traditions of stewardship contribute to ecological resilience in the Piedmont and beyond.
Through stories, images, and living examples from the gardens, audiences will gain a deeper appreciation for how Old Salem’s gardens function as both a historic resource and a forward-looking model—where seeds, soil, and knowledge are actively stewarded to keep future options alive.

This program is priced on a sliding scale. All proceeds go to benefit the Gardens of Old Salem.
