Gardeners in cities and suburbs are reclaiming lost commons, transforming vacant lots into vibrant plots, turning waste into compost, and recreating what was once the most productive agriculture in recorded human history while simultaneously nurturing health, hope, and community. Join us to learn more from Kate Brown, Thomas M. Siebel Distinguished Professor in History of Science at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, about this fascinating environmental history.
