Join us for a drop-in visit with Kathryn Lennon and Shalaka Jadhav, co-presented by @__container__gardening
Kathryn and Shalaka met some years ago in Edmonton, and connected over a love of community gardens and food systems planning. Drop by to visit and celebrate their newest publications, including Kathryn’s book Duckweed 浮萍 as well as a selection of publication projects (books! zines! and more!) Shalaka has been working on.
