+ THU., APRIL 02 {TALK} Cities are often called “concrete jungles” — the antithesis of plant life except in carefully set-aside areas. However, the integration of plant life in cities is the topic of the next installment of Phipps Conservatory’s Biophilia: Pittsburgh series. Kelly Ksiazek, a researcher on plant biology and conservation at Northwestern University, gives a talk entitled “Island in the Sky: Connecting Plants and People on Green Roofs.” She will share her research on using urban green roofs as habitat for conservation of native grasses and wildflowers. A discussion follows. Zacchiaus McKee 5:30-7:30 p.m. 1 Schenley Drive, Oakland. Free with RSVP. 412-622-6914 or www.phipps.conservatory.org

Personal and intimate relationships are often the hardest to capture in photographs. In their Silver Eye Center exhibit A World Imagined, artists Kelli Connell and Sara Macel examine how we define subjective experiences. Connell’s project, now in its 13th year,
uses digital manipulation to depict a woman in a relationship with herself. Macel strives to understand her relationship with her father in a series of photographs inspired by his career. A World Imagined is organized by Carnegie Mellon professor Leo Hsu and Silver Eye executive director David Oresick. Macel speaks tonight at Point Park University, and both artists speak before tomorrow’s opening reception at Silver Eye. ZM 6 p.m. (JVH Auditorium, 201 Wood St., Downtown; free).

{GARDENING} Composting isn’t all that hard; microbes do most of the work. But we humans can help give the little buggers better conditions for turning our kitchen scraps and yard debris into rich fertilizer (and keeping them out of landfills).
