Urban gardening workshop

Today I visited Groundwork Somerville’s South Street Farm. Last year, on this tiny paved plot, the farm grew 2,000 pounds of fruits and vegetables in raised beds and a small greenhouse. Amazing program which works with youth on the farm and runs a mobile farmers market to address food deserts in the city. They ran a workshop to teach residents how they can grow food at home, with the most modest of plots, even just a 5-gallon bucket.

Today, I was also on a cal for the outreach committee of the Climate Reality Project’s Boston chapter.
