Great Meadows Conservation Trust and Comstock, Ferre & Co. will be co-sponsoring a spring gardening event at 2 p.m. on Sunday, April 19. Entitled "Cave Men, Kings, and Cannibals," the presentation will discuss why we eat the plants we eat—and have left behind so many good ones. Joseph Simcox, the "Botanical Explorer," will pull out his photo archives documenting amazing edible plants around the world. He will also introduce and suggest an amazing number of rare and beautiful edibles for the Connecticut gardener. Podunk Popcorn—locally grown in South Windsor—will be served.

The program will take place at Comstock, Ferre & Co., 263 Main Street, Wethersfield. Donations will be accepted at the door. RSVP by April 17 to Jim Woodworth: info@gmct.org or (860) 808-9968.
