Fred Montague Lecture - The Global Imperative for the Local Garden

Wednesday, March 31, 7 pm

In today's world of population growth, global change, biodiversity loss, pollution, resource depletion, competition, and conflict—thoughtful citizens seek activities and actions that promote sustainability and justice. The immense worldwide issues seem overwhelming and intractable. However, in Fred Montague's thinking, several million local gardens would begin to address our most troubling modern problems of environmental quality, human health, wilderness preservation, and sustainability. The way we get the first million gardens is to begin with the one you plant this spring.
