Children's Magical Garden de Carmen Rubio
Stanton and Norfolk Street, L.E.S.
F train to Delancey, 2 blocks north
an L.E.S. community garden for all, especially kids, for over 25 years and counting. Envision it made permanent!
This is a reminder that this Saturday, March 22nd from 2-5 will be the garden's official kickoff to this year's growing season. We will be planting seeds (in containers) for our new pizza garden, learning about composting kitchen scraps and lasagna style gardening (as well as some um... soil moving in there for the enthusiastic) signing up new members, and also there will be hard boiled egg painting for the kids in honor of the Spring Equinox! The garden will provide several sets of water colors, and 2 dozen hard boiled eggs (organic, which I know even so might disappoint some of you caring vegans, but I thought it was better than plastic eggs with sugary jelly beans...) If anyone has more hardboiled eggs to share, please bring them, as kids often like painting more than 1.
I could also use volunteers in these areas: Flyering with me tomorrow and Friday in the neighborhood.
Someone to volunteer being in charge of the kids painting station at the table (a very fun job)
Multiple photographers who will please email/get me a disk after the event so that we can document it and put it up on our website.
Anyone who wants to bring/contribute juice, water, and healthy snacks is very welcome!
Packets of seeds of all kinds are welcome, (organic preferred) with emphasis on vegetables and herbs that are yummy on pizza.
Come join us for an exciting day of growing veggies, flowers, kids, community, and celebrating the return of spring!
Happy, happy Vernal Equinox!
Kate Temple-West, garden director with Alfredo Feliciano, director and founder.
