KEYNOTE LECTURE

Nothing is Impossible Keynote Address

by Eliot Coleman $75./After June 30 $100. ∙ NANTUCKET LIGHTHOUSE SCHOOL Tuesday, July 16 ∙ 9:00AM-11:00AM Eliot Coleman, acclaimed organic farming expert, helped start the organic food movement with “The New Organic Grower” published over 30 years ago. He continues to lead the way, pushing the limits of the traditional harvest season. Following an introduction by Russell Morash of The Victory Garden and This Old House fame, in his keynote address, Coleman will make the case for why organic farming and gardening matters and how it has changed from the ‘70s to today. A passionate advocate for the revival of small-scale sustainable farming, Coleman will provide a practical model for supplying fresh, locally grown produce during the winter season, even in climates where conventional wisdom says it can't be done.

Lastly, he will share how novice, small-scale backyard growers can begin to become more sustainable and less dependent on grocery stores. The talk will end with a book signing and a unique opportunity to ask Eliot your gardening questions.

Lecture underwriter Johnny’s Selected Seeds will have their Tools Manager, Adam Lemieux, on hand to show you a selection of tools designed by Eliot Coleman, and all lecture participants will leave with a special coupon for Johnny’s online store. Please find Eliots’s bio on page 18.

Can a cut flower present an opportunity to consider a heightened expression of what one wants to achieve in a border?

Please find Taylor’s and Ed’s bios on page 19.

Recounting the tales of these varieties, many of which were headed for extinction before dedicated gardeners, seed savers, and farmers created a movement to rescue them, Buttala shares ideas for creating a diverse garden that ensures the security of our food supply, while providing us with great tasting produce and beautiful plants that can inhabit our gardens for generations to come.
