In November 2015 Wellesley College Botanic Garden Fellow Katie Goodall had the opportunity to attend the International Agroecology Conference in Guira de Melena, Cuba, which brought together farmers, peasants, agroecology promoters, facilitators, scientists, students, and others interested in the development of agroecology throughout the world. In addition to talks, Katie and the other participants visited farmer cooperatives in several provinces. Katie will relate her experiences at the Wellesley College Science Center, Room SCI-278 on Thursday, April 28 from noon to 1:30. Friends of Wellesley Botanic Garden fee is $15, non-members $20, and the price includes lunch. Register by calling 781-283-3094 or email wcbgfriends@wellesley.edu.
