## About this plan

Flavors That Tell Stories: Gardens and Memory in the City is a literary and environmental gathering at the Rafael Uribe Uribe Public Library in Bogotá. The event brings together reading, urban farming, and collective memory to ask what we eat, how we grow it, and what stories live in the plants we tend at home.

The conversation covers caring for natural resources, food sovereignty, and the role libraries play in telling the story of the city through the lens of the garden. It is a relaxed space to talk about food, roots, and the environment, a good fit if you want cultural plans with a green focus in Bogotá.
