Inaugural Concert
It was raining, but TRUCE opened their doors and their auditorium. For the last number, we walked over to the garden for one last glorious song. The sun cleared and the plants looked happy.
Marvin Hadley, Shirley Ullah, and Selina Hughes performed. They were gracious and positive and their music was amazing. Everyone enjoyed their good will and spirit.
Free concert in the garden
Saturday, August 22nd at 3p.m., join us in the garden to welcome artist Marvin Hadley leading The South Harlem Inspirational Singers!
Storm damage
New York’s short but brutal storm last night brought down a garden tree. One of the larger trees on the lot, it fell right on top of our prize sunflowers and covered some planting boxes. The garden was closed and no one was hurt.
Work weekend in the garden
Gardeners worked on clearing the stage and gave it a coat of varnish in anticipation of Marvin Hadley’s appearance Saturday the 22nd at 3pm.
We cleaned and protected the benches, installed a shelter roof structure, planted a worn wheelbarrow and set up a produce display.
Special congratulations to Michelle, Marilyn, Julian, Ivy and Steve on all this hard work, and many thanks to Ian for the great designs and guidance.
Garden Team Needed: GreenThumb Harvest Fair and First Annual Urban Farmy Olympics Announced
Represent our garden on September 12th from noon to 6p.m. This is an urgent appeal – If we can build a team this week, we can register to compete and see how our crops and skills measure up against other city gardens. We’ll need at least two seniors over 60 and two youths under 21 and everyone in between who wants to join in and support us.
Once a year, gardeners from all over the city come together to show off what they’ve grown this season.
Check our new garden calendar on this site for this and other events, but don’t miss this one. Here are the details:
