It's Spring!

April 7, 2014

EVENT CANCELLED

Kyiesha has arranged for 30-60 high school students to volunteer at the garden this Friday (4/11) from Green HS in Bushwick. They will be creating individual garden beds and cleaning up the garden for Spring planting.

We really really really need cordless drills to make this happen! But any supplies – shovels, gloves, etc – that you're willing to donate for the day (we'll give them back) would be super great. You can drop supplies off at the garden or arrange with Alison (alison.iven@gmail.com) a time for her to pick them up. We'll return them after Friday, promise!

If you're around on Friday (9:30 - 2:30) we'd love your help in directing all the students. Just pop on by!
