Join Brookside Gardens on Friday, February 24, 2012 for Green Matters: Urban Farming Pioneers, a symposium highlighting innovative approaches to feeding the world's population. Featuring Dickson Despommier, Columbia University Emeritus Professor and author of  The Vertical Farm: Feeding the World in the 21st Century, Darrin Nordahl, landscape architect and author of Public Produce, Ben Flanner, Head Farmer/CEO and co-founder of the Brooklyn Grange rooftop farm, and Jeff Semler Maryland State Coordinator of Sustainable Agriculture Research & Education, this year's Green Matters will kindle your inner urban farmer and entice you to think about food production in wholly different ways.

Your registration fee of $89 covers the day's events, including lunch. Join us for a Happy Hour immediately following the symposium for just $15 - a great opportunity to continue mingling with other like-minded folks.
