In this episode, we walk the forgotten paths of Delaware’s Potter’s Fields—burial grounds for the poor, the unclaimed, the institutionalized, and the marginalized. We explore the history of the Cemetery in the Woods. Through the voices of those working to restore these sites—like anthropologist Dr. Katherine Dettwyler and urban horticulturist Faith Kuehn—we uncover not just broken headstones, but buried histories. We reflect on how society chooses whom to remember, and the quiet, often invisible labor of restoring dignity to the dead.
