Standing Up for Community Gardens

This announcement caught our attention with its headline: How Safe is Your Garden, Really? There are actually many issues that could threaten its safety, which is why there's a "Community Gardeners Forum" at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden Auditorium tomorrow (6/16) from 10AM-1:30PM. Numerous community gardens across the city are threatened, most of them by development. In Harlem, for instance, 20 gardens could disappear. The release we got says, in part, Join Us on June 16. Help us revitalize the unified voice of community garden citywide, and work with us to preserve and strengthen your garden and all gardens." The BBG Auditorium is located in the BBG at 1000 Washington Avenue.
