Repairing the Web of Life: Lessons from Land, Place, and History for Gardening in the Climate Change Era
As we confront the accelerating damage of climate change, g deners are in a unique position to create places of refuge for many forms of life. But doing so responsibly and successfully asks that we deeply study the stories and histories of the lands where we garden. We will explore these connections between ecological and social communities across time and place in western MA, and how these stories point to new possibilities for gardening and land care in a century of crisis.
Plus Workshops! - Choose from 16 concurrent topics in two sessions, offering ideas for adapting and enjoying your garden.
