Broad Institute Earth Week: Container Gardening 101
April 21, 2021
Do you want to garden, but don’t have a big yard (or even an outdoor space) to grow food? Join us for a 90-minute session with farming and horticulture expert Jane Hall (she/her/hers) (UMass). She will show you how to grow many common food plants and herbs in whatever space you have available, as well as the light and nutrient requirements of those plants. At the end of the session, we will demonstrate how to plant potatoes in a five-gallon recycled bucket!
