The theme of the 2008 Green Garden Exchange was "Green Living: Creating a Sustainable Community". Activities included demonstrations on pruning and container gardening, tips for composting and natural pest control, and nature-themed storytelling for kids. Space for the event was generously provided by the Emerald Society of Boston.
