SFB Gardening Blog Series Kicks Off this Spring!

5/6/2018

As gardening season kicks off under Slow Food Boston’s theme Boston Grown this year, we’re happy to introduce the Slow Food Boston Gardening Series, a blog series about gardening from one of our very own members, Chris Kieffer, who offers us a first-hand account on gardening as a novice and learning about the joys (and “growing” pains) of starting a vegetable garden for the first time. While documenting his progress, Chris will also share personal insights and lessons learned, valuable tips on how to grow seasonal greens, and offer delicious recipes for your eating pleasure. From seedling to supper, we’ll learn about gardening do’s and don’ts, discover the rewards of growing your own greens organically with a little backyard care, and get a deeper understanding of what it takes to turn a tiny seed into a dinner delight.

Even if you’re not a farmer, a local producer, or a home cook, anyone who shares the Slow Food values of eating “good, clean, and fair” can grow your own food with zero miles from source to plate – these are some of the things we want to highlight this year. Visit our Blog next week to check out the first installment!
