Stars in the City: Urban Astronomy:

Bringing Nature Back

Boston Center for Adult Education Offers a Series of Classes that Bring Suburban Nature to the Urban City

(BOSTON, MA) – The serenity and beauty of the countryside can be a nice change of pace for city dwellers, but finding the time to get outside and actually enjoy it isn’t always easy. This summer, the Boston Center for Adult Education (BCAE) is offering a new series of one session classes that will deliver Mother Nature directly to your doorstep! Featuring classes in urban beekeeping, urban astronomy, feng shui in the garden, and container gardening for the urban dweller, the BCAE will reintroduce urbanites to activities that have become foreign in the land of skyscrapers and subways!
