Free and open to all, The Gardeners' Gathering brings together over 400 gardeners to kick off Boston’s gardening season.
The Gardeners’ Gathering is the city’s largest educational forum for urban gardeners, and an opportunity for people to share ideas, network, and learn.
**Special guest speaker LaDonna Redmond, food justice activist**
**Over 2 dozen skill building and community organizing workshops**
**Boston environmental, agricultural, and community exhibitors**
The Gardeners’ Gathering offers more than two-dozen skill-building workshops for both vegetable and ornamental gardeners, with an emphasis on healthy practices for urban gardens.
Topics range from seed starting, composting, fermentation, and urban beekeeping to community and youth organizing.
Attendees will also be able to interact with exhibitors from Boston-area agriculture, gardening, and environmental organizations.
Special guest speaker LaDonna Redmond will address “Food and Justice--feeding ourselves in uncertain times' during the noon plenary and will participate in a roundtable discussion during the workshop sessions about food justice as a movement toward liberation, and ending oppression in our food system and beyond.
The event will also feature the annual Community Garden Awards presentations, honoring individuals, garden groups, and non-profit organizations with the “Hall of Fame,” “Rookie Gardener of the Year,” and “Most Valuable Gardener” awards.
