Even in the city you can grow your own fresh produce. During this Wednesday, May 10 lecture, we will discuss garden design and installation, crop planning, plant selection, and organic and ecologically responsible pest and disease management. Whether your goal is to transform your lawn into a vegetable garden or just grow a few herbs, you will learn the techniques for producing edibles in an urban space. Marie Macchiarolo will lead the discussion.

This class is part of New England Wild Flower Society’s Urban Gardening Series a set of classes designed to help city dwellers grow healthy, sustainable, and beautiful urban gardens. Led by New England Wild Flower Society in partnership with the Cambridge Conservation Commission, these free classes take place at 7 pm at the Cambridge Public Library (449 Broadway, Cambridge, MA).
