My first drag queen gardener talk
I had my first talk as a drag queen gardener this past weekend. That’s right! I presented my very own talk entitled “Cultivating Diversity: Exploring Queer Contributions in Gardening”. Here are a few photos of the event. I hope is one of many more talks from a drag queen gardener.
I presented my talk “Cultivating Diversity: exploring Queer contributions in gardening” at the Perth & District Union Library this past Saturday, May 11th, 2024. My first time at the public library in Perth. It was a wonderful venue and a very welcoming audience. I was and am grateful for the opportunity.
This talk was the first part of a series of talks called “Lanark Speaks” spearheaded by Queer Connection Lanark. Queer Connection Lanark is a fabulous volunteer organization to boost 2SLGBTQ+ visibility in Lanark county. Catch more awesome talks from equally fabulous presenters scheduled over the coming month.
If you are wondering how I got this gig, I have to tip my hat to Queer Connection Lanark. They called me up a few months ago and said “Tyffanie, we want you to do a talk on gardening!” Wow! Ya… it was that dream call. I wanted to explore my identity as a drag queen gardener. What it meant and how I felt about it. This amazing opportunity fell in my lap. I couldn’t say no.
