From distinguished MIT professor of the history of science Kate Brown comes a new book, Tiny Gardens Everywhere: The Past, the Present, and the Future of the Self-Provisioning City. Join us for her talk about it at The NewSouth Bookstore on Tuesday, April 7, 2026 at 5:30 p.m. Tiny Gardens Everywhere is a tribute to small-scale gardens that is something more — an inspiring vision of the transformative potential of gardening and urban life from the eighteenth century to the twenty-first. As fellow author/gardener Novella Carpenter describes it, "this vibrant secret history validates our work and guides future gardeners toward better composting, radical use of common spaces, and plenty of zucchini.” Green thumbs and brown thumbs, this will be a program you won’t want to miss.
