Description
Growing Potential: Gardening Behind Bars
James Jiler, Founder, Urban GreenWorks, and CEO, Native Splendor Designs
1 Session: Tuesday, February 28, 7:00-8:30pm
Location: Trinity Church
Prisons by nature are bleak and barren places and are, in fact, a bio-physical metaphor for the 2.3 million lives warehoused in the US criminal justice system. James Jiler, former Director of the Greenhouse Project, a renowned horticultural job training program for inmates at New York City's Rikers Island prison, former Director of Community Services for the Horticultural Society of New York, and author of Doing Time in the Garden, will speak of the harsh reality of our prison system and a unique approach to re-directing prisoners' lives through horticulture. He will speak of his work with individuals, both inside and outside of prison walls and the human and landscape transformations he has witnessed.
Fee $15 member, $20 nonmember Offered with Trinity Church in the City of Boston
