MLK AuditoriumSAVORING THE FRUITS OF YOUR LABOR
Gardening and preserving stories and strategies to improve your quality of life and your bottom line.
Backyard gardening and food preservation are growing popular trends, but in the real world, what can these practices do for you individually, and for the community around you? Do we create a wider consciousness of community when we grow, preserve and share the products of our own labor and that of local producers? How does it affect the household bottom line and your overall quality of life? Join the conversation with local practitioners, professionals and community organizers about their experiences.
