Rooted in Healing
Featuring the Breaux family of Cockeyed Farms
Tuesday, November 17, 2026 | 6:30–8:00 p.m.

Discover Nature Series welcomes the Breaux family of Cockeyed Farms for “Rooted in Healing,” a personal journey exploring the connections between gardening, native plants, agriculture, family, and wellness.

What began as a journey toward better health brought the Breaux family back to the soil. Growing food, working together, and reconnecting with the land ultimately grew into Cockeyed Farms in South Louisiana. During this program, the family will share the story behind their farm and how their connection to the land became part of their pursuit of wellness.

“Rooted in Healing” reaches beyond elderberries to tell a story of family, resilience, and rediscovering the value of the plants around us. Join the Breaux family as they explore cultivating healthier gardens, ecosystems, and communities, and the meaningful growth that can begin when we put down roots.
