Greene Acres will be closed to all garden members and the public from May 27th to June 1st for renovations. Last year our garden was selected as one of the Vital Brooklyn grantees, you can read more about the initiative at https://www.ny.gov/transforming-central-brooklyn/vital-brooklyn-initiative-0 During the past months we worked as a community on a list of projects that we could tackle with this grant and it’s finally happening. Contractors set aside May 27-29th to start construction work in the garden. So if you want to visit, please be mindful that on those dates the contractors will be using machinery and moving things around, so we ask that you plan your visit for other time. Starting June 1st the garden the garden will open again and we will have access to most of the garden through the Franklin Ave. entrance while the contractors work in the areas marked off by construction fence. List of projects: 1. Water Supply (we have potable water Yai!) 2. New Beds (stayed tuned for Junes 22nd work session, all hands on deck) 3. Compost foundations and new bins 4. Rain water Harvesting system repair 5. Pond Rehab 6. Solar panels to power solar pump, water heating system for the hens and new compost system.

Last Friday @alamandercamp came to garden with us. Still cold, but we improvised a greenhouse for some seed balls that they made and were already sprouting. Big shout out to our Compost team, the compost pile that was ready to use was huge and kiddos were so excited with all the worms #kidsgardening #teachnatureconnection
Shout out to all the members that made it today to our emergency meeting. We had a very productive session!
