In conjunction with the Museum’s upcoming exhibition, Green from the Start: A History of Gardening in Greenbelt (click on Exhibits above for more information about the exhibition), the Museum’s lecture series will focus on topics related to both gardening and food preparation. On July 20, we welcome Nicolas Tardif, a Maryland Master Gardener from Prince George’s County, who will discuss both the history of canning and other food preservation and how to do home canning.

Lectures take place at the Greenbelt Community Center, 15 Crescent Road, Greenbelt MD 20770. They are free and open to the public. Sponsored by the Friends of the Greenbelt Museum.
