During World War II, Victory Gardens sprouted all over many countries to supplement rations, boost morale and reduce pressure on the public food supply. More recently, they have made a comeback in response to mitigating the impacts of climate change.
Join author and regenerative gardening expert Acadia Tucker as she describes the climate changes taking place in our own backyards, and the various steps we can take to boost a garden’s resilience. I’ll invite you to think of gardening as civic action. By building organically-rich soil and cultivating perennial plants, we can capture greenhouse gases in the very place we’re growing nutritious food.

Container gardening allows just about anyone to grow a decent amount of food, no backyard required. While growing food in pots may not do much to mitigate climate change like cultivating in backyard gardens, it can help us adapt to it by building stronger communities, supporting local pollinators, and expanding the reach of organic, regenerative agriculture.
In this session, we’ll chat with author and gardening expert Acadia Tucker about what you need to grow your own tiny victory garden both indoors and out. One that can supply you with as much, or as little, food as you’d like. We’ll cover topics like cultivating living soil, container selection, and which varieties work well in small places.

An area the size of Washington State is presently mowed turf in the United States. This makes lawns the largest irrigated 'crop' in the country and the adverse impact of this ecological footprint is truly staggering. Meadows offer the opposite effect, providing myriad ecological benefits – including ongoing sequestering of carbon and increased biological diversity. Meadows are also significantly more affordable than lawns plus they're long lasting, low-maintenance, and very beautiful.
As part of Tuft University’s Environmental Lecture series, Owen Wormser will discuss the benefits of native meadows while also explaining how to create thriving meadowscapes, sharing tips and strategies drawn from research and over 20 years of on-the-ground experience.
Tufts will raffle 3 copies of Lawn to Meadows among the virtual and in-person attendees. People interested in attending can buy the book from Stone Pier Press for 25 percent off the cover price (promo code: TUFTS25).
