If seeing all the edible plants and urban livestock in Wallingford inspire you to till your own little pastoral plot, a good start would be tomorrow’s reading at Seattle Tilth. Lisa Taylor will read from her newly published “Your Farm in the City: An Urban Dweller’s Guide to Growing Food and Raising Animals.”
“Publishers Weekly” wrote of “Your Farm in the City”:
This upbeat manual for aspiring urban gardeners features a gritty but whimsical, graphic-heavy, reader-friendly layout and a 21st-century attitude that will appeal to a younger generation of gardeners intrigued by the idea of growing their own food while living in the city.
Taylor collaborated on the book with Seattle Tilth gardeners. She’s a program manager for Seattle Tilth and the co-author of the “Maritime Northwest Garden Guide.” She will read a few excerpts from “Your Farm in the City,” show some slides about urban farming, and share what she learned about the national urban farming movement.
