Urban gardening is about growing food and ornamentals in small spaces. Whether you have a huge yard without the time or desire to tend it all, or an apartment with no outdoor space at all, this talk will give you tips and techniques to start and maintain a garden you can call your own. We will also learn about what’s new in small space gardening. The Garden Club of the Back Bay’s February 7 meeting will be held at The Chilton Club, 152 Commonwealth Avenue (entrance on Dartmouth Street) beginning at 10 am.
