Green Tuesdays: Films & Lectures on Sustainability

Next Tuesday, April 14: Community Gardens in Monona

Interested in how community gardens work? How you can help them grow? Or want to sign up for one? This panel – from green thumbs to Master Gardeners – will present information, share their experiences with a free-flowing question and answer session, and encourage you to dig and plant.

Join us as we hear from members of the St. Stephens Community Garden, who broke ground on their plots one year ago, and the organizers of the Monona United Methodist Church Community Garden, which is starting its first growing season this spring.

This year Green Tuesdays are on the second and fifth Tuesdays of the month. The series is free and open to the public. Sessions start at 6:30 and run until 8:00, with engaging and fun conversations often pushing the conclusion a bit past that hour.

Whole Foods serves treats, so come early for delightful food and drink.

Green Tuesdays: Films & Lectures on Sustainability is the enlightening and entertaining series of lectures, films, and conversations on sustainable living brought to you by The Natural Step Monona and the Monona Public Library.

Upcoming presentations include: Composting & Vermiculture with members of the Madison Area Permaculture Guild, Erin Schneider of EnAct, The Basics of Home Canning with Dana Johnson, Chad Speight of Chad’s Carpentry on winterizing our homes (next fall!), and the films Kilowatt Ours, Up Close and Toxic, and Mama Earth.

Green Tuesdays: Films are supported by the Dane County Environmental Council.
