Death in the Vegetable Garden Could be the Key to a Brighter Future for Mankind
This week we open the new series on Sunday April 22, Earth Day. Come and hear Nicholas Dakin-Elliot, Horticultural Associate of New York University's Villa La Pietra.
While the cause is still widely debated, the fact of climate change is now generally recognized. Most agree that "SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE" but, realistically, what can the individual actually do to help? Our speaker looks at the impact of climate change on food production and what can be done to reduce it whilst, hopefully, eating better and having fun.

American Dreamers - Reality and Imagination in Contemporary American Art
