Fresh Food from Small Spaces

March 4, 2009

Time: 6pm - 8pm

Location: Ferry Building, Port Commission Hearing Room, 2nd Floor,

San Francisco

(Market & Embarcadero)

How local can you grow? Perfect for urban residents who don't have a

big yard, R.J. Ruppenthal's new book Fresh Food from Small Spaces

reveals how to harvest something delicious from any patio, balcony,

rooftop, windowsill, or cabinet. No space is too small or too dark!

In this interactive talk, Ruppenthal will share ideas from his book

and show examples of gardens in compact urban locations. A

surprising variety of food can be grown in even the most cramped and

paved of quarters-sprouts, mushrooms, ferments and cultures,

vegetables, even berries and fruit trees! The talk will be followed

by a reception with some locally grown snacks. Admission is free;

books will be available for purchase.

Co-Sponsored by the Center for Urban Education about Sustainable

Agriculture

(CUESA), Garden for the Environment and SFGRO.
