Dance to Save Community Gardens Lower East Side (this was sent to me)
Ho Down Dance Party for the Community Gardens
Garden Ride / Procession / Dance to Save the Community Gardens
What: A festive celebration of Spring / dance party to celebrate and defend New York’s beloved and once again endangered community gardens
When: Saturday, May 15th, 2010, 2:00 PM
Start: 2:00 PM, Center of Tompkins Square Park
End: After party at Dias y Flores Community Garden Lower East Side.
522 E. 13th St, between Avenues A & B Subway: L Train to 1st Avenue, from 4-6 PM.
Why: Because the 2002 deal to save the gardens is coming to an end and the city is dragging its feet. Ten years ago, we fought, screamed, dressed like tomatoes and sunflowers and fought for the community gardens. Today, these gardens are once again under threat of development.
So, this year we’re asking you to come dressed like your favorite garden vegetable, bring some noise, defend, and celebrate the monumental achievement of the community gardens.
