BELLE’S GARDEN.

FINDING OUR ROOTS AND GIVING OUT FLOWERS.

Belle’s Garden is an archive and project that celebrates Black nostalgia. Through genealogical research, Belle’s Garden gives a new meaning to finding your roots, while stopping to give out flowers along the way.

"Guided by my heritage of a love of beauty and a respect for strength -- in search of my mother's garden, I found my own."

- Alice Walker (1974)
