The theme for this Nature Exchange is:

Getting to the Root of Food

Most of the fruits and veggies we're used to seeing in the grocery store have been cultivated to look and taste the way they do. But where did those plants get their start? Where do they come from when they're out of season? And what happens to the bounty from fruit trees growing in parks and yards around the city? Join us for a chat about the history and mysteries of growing food.
