This is a great opportunity to meet our fellow gardeners, see how other gardens are set up, share ideas & best practices, and foster interconnectivity within our growing network. Hop on the Green Bus for a fun afternoon of garden hopping as we visit community gardens around Brooklyn. Representatives from the gardens will be on hand to discuss the process of starting a community garden, the city agencies and community groups they engaged in the process, their garden's goals and mission, and garden programming. We will meet at 61 Franklin Street Garden then board the bus to visit 3 additional gardens. The tour will end at the Brooklyn Food Coalition headquarters at 33 Flatbush Avenue. There will be a lunch break. Please plan to bring a lunch or purchase one nearby. Hope to see you there! SIGN UP HERE ($15, plus $1 fee): http://tiny.cc/BK-gardentour |
