About this Event

Join our Farm Manager Francis in the beautiful Radix Center greenhouse to help operate our indoor systems while discussing The Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler. This title delivers a timely message on community building and resilience in the face of climate chaos and mounting social inequity. We are excited to share our greenhouse space, which is bursting with warmth and plant growth despite the frigid temperatures outside.
