“Growing Cities: A Film About Urban Farming in America”
Thursday, Nov. 6, 2014, 6 pm
Blakely Hall
Free and open to the public
Filmmakers Dan Susman and Andrew Monbouquette in their search for answers to their questions about growth and farming, take a road trip and meet the men and women who are challenging the way our country grows and distributes its food — one vacant city lot, rooftop garden and backyard chicken coop at a time. Free snacks and interesting vendors make for a full evening. They discover that good food isn’t the only crop these urban visionaries are harvesting. They’re producing stronger and more vibrant communities, too. Meet local community P-Patch expert Julie Bryan, and other groups building stronger communities around growing food, to learn how you can contribute to and participate in the network of food gardens in our community.
