Lectures on Urban Gardening, together with Dacha in the City
Dacha in the City is an educational initiative, dedicated to greening up apartments and balconies, urban gardening, and landscape design. This cycle of lectures will focus on the practical aspects, most interesting to city-dwellers: how to achieve the kind of cooperation between neighbors and municipal authorities necessary to make a green roof, what do you need to create a vertical garden in your living room, where is the best place to build a community garden, and what kind of plants are best for a garden on the balcony. These and other questions will be answered by practicing landscape designers and gardeners.
