Celebrate the start of Boston’s gardening season on March 21 from 10 – 5 at Shillman Hall, Northeastern University, 115 Forsyth Street in Boston. The Gathering is a free day full of informative workshops, engaging exhibitors, networking, and inspiration. Two dozen workshops cover topics like starting a community garden, building healthy soil, gardens and climate change, fermenting veggies, and so much more. An exhibitors’ gallery full of local environmental and agricultural exhibitors provide opportunities to get engaged.
Our special guest speaker Reverend Mariama White-Hammond, pastor at Dorchester’s New Roots African Methodist Episcopal Church, is an eloquent and passionate advocate and organizer for ecological and social justice, youth engagement, and Spirit-filled organizing. Rev. Mariama has received numerous awards including the Barr Fellowship, the Celtics Heroes Among Us, The Roxbury Founders Day Award and the Boston NAACP Image award.
