City Farmer Book Launch

On Wednesday, May 26 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., Lorraine Johnson launches her new book, City Farmer: Adventures in Urban Food Growing. Apart from being a prolific author and a lovely person (with a great collection of earrings!), Lorraine is deeply knowledgeable about native plant species and is herself a keen grower of various types of food in the city.

The book covers rooftop, backyard and guerilla vegetable gardening, urban fruit harvesting and gardening with kids, and offers lots of practical tips for anyone who wants to get growing themselves. The launch will be held at The Stop's Green Barn #4 (601 Christie at St. Clair), and admission is free.
