 Join
Us for a Taste of Spring at the Garden Fair Lecture Series
:"Winter Inspirations" Come to the Garden Fair Committee Lectures for a Taste of Spring. Come
to where green thoughts of summer gardens blossom, Tuesday evenings
in February at the Augustana Lutheran Church, 55th and Woodlawn
Avenue, On February 2, we’ll learn about “Organic Gardening Basics” with Kirsten Akre from the Chicago Park District’s Kilbourn Park Organic Greenhouse. She’ll show us how to work with nature to maintain the delicate balance of all the organisms in our yard and give us the skill to grow healthy productive plants for food and pleasure. Learn how to create an abundance of bees, birds, beetles, and worms in your garden, and celebrate the diversity of life both above and below ground. On February 9, we’ll learn how beautiful that diversity can be when Loretta Downs presents “Butterfly Gardening in the City.” Loretta has transformed her Bucktown two-flat and urban garden into a butterfly-friendly habitat. She raises and releases as many as 300 monarch butterflies each season. Find out how she does it and learn how to create a butterfly-friendly garden of your own. On February 16, we’ll be "Tasting Fresh Herbs in February" with Bam Postell, who will show us how to capture the tastes of summer herb harvests in our pantries and freezers so that even in the dead of winter mustards, vinegars, jellies, butters, and more will keep us warm. Discover how with recipes, demonstrations, and tastings. Luckily, with fresh herbs available in stores, we won’t have to wait until spring to experiment ourselves. |
