Want to fill up your calendar for the week? How about going to the URI Global Change talk on Tuesday, Runway Earth on Wednesday, and then Green Drinks on Thursday?

The hosts for Thursday's Green Drinks event are Firehouse 13, Green Zone Garden, and Glasswing Design. Located in a historic fire station on Providence's South Side, Firehouse 13 is a forward thinking urban project dedicated to sheltering exciting, innovative and contemporary creative works. For the summer of 2008, FH13 is showcasing Green Zone, an organic vegetable, herb, and flower garden that Sarah Zurier planted in the detritus of wartime consumption: used tires, plastic shopping bags, and discarded shoes. Glasswing Design is a Providence graphic design studio led by creative director Eva Anderson, who is known for her long-standing passion for all things green.

Come this week and take a tour of Firehouse 13 to learn about the dramatic project that converted an underused building into a dynamic new arts center.  Plus, chat with the creator of Green Zone about victory gardens, war gardens, and urban agriculture, and nibble away at Green Zone herbs and leaves.
