Regina M. Laroche

Regina M. Laroche is seeded from her mother’s rural South Carolina upbringing, her father’s Haitian Afro-Caribbean culture, varied faith and culture stories, and the environment of family, land, and community. Her small scale farming, community arts and spirit life is dedicated to nourishing and healing bodies, earth, spirits, and communities – especially the impacts of racial inequities and traumas. These are experienced at her Diaspora Gardens micro-farm, in her Planting Connections, Planting Hope program, and with the St. Mark Giving Garden urban food access and racial justice/racial healing project.
