Thanksgiving and Gift Economy of the Natural World

Presented by OSU Extension

In the season of gratitude, we’ll explore an alternative way of thinking about value, community, and exchange- and what that has to do with gardening and the natural world.

We’ll consider the horticultural principles of the gift economy—where goods and services are given freely without expectation of payment. Learn how gift-based systems foster connection, trust, and sustainability, and discover real-world examples and ways to participate locally.
