Are you a backyard gardener or urban farmer?
Join us for a day of cross-pollinating ideas and practices in urban agriculture and backyard gardening hosted by Florida International University's International Center for Tropical Botany and The Kampong of the National Tropical Botanical Garden in Coconut Grove.
Featuring presentations by agricultural researchers and practitioners from Miami-Dade and Alachua counties, including:
Melissa DeSa of Working Food, Alachua County
Corinne Mariposa of Miami Seed Share
Muriel Olivares & Tiffany Noe of Little River Cooperative
Jorge Palacios of the Green Haven Project
Lunch will be provided by Related Recipes, offering plant-based South Indian Cuisine using locally sourced ingredients.
In the afternoon we will move into the Kampong for demonstrations on farming and gardening, such as mulching, composting, pest-management, and soil amendments.
Registered participants will receive a more detailed schedule closer to May 4.
