Lexington author Meg Muckenhoupt will discuss her book, Boston's Gardens & Green Spaces, on Thursday December 1 at 7:30 in the Assembly Room of the Belmont Public Library.

The lecture, which is part of the Friends of the Belmont Public Library's Author Series, examines the role of public spaces throughout Boston’s historic and contemporary landscape. The audience will rediscover Boston’s most revered historic parks and explore the city’s ever-expanding network of public spaces.

This is a fascinating journey through green Boston, past to present—and all nature lovers, gardening enthusiasts, and history buffs should be sure to come along for the ride. From the suburban wilderness and urban wilds to the Sapphire Necklace and newly created Big Dig parks, Meg Muckenhoupt has given every resident and visitor to Greater Boston a reason to go outdoors.

Meg Muckenhoupt has written articles on travel in Boston and local environmental issues for The Boston Globe, the Boston Phoenix, Boston Magazine and the Time Out Boston guide. Her book Sigmund Freud: Explorer of the Unconscious (Oxford University Press) won the American Academy of Sciences 1998 Best science Books for Junior High and High school readers, and has been translated into seven languages. She holds a certificate in Field Botany from the New England Wild Flower Society.
