Harlem Green
This Saturday, July 30th, the 6th Annual Harlem Community Gardens Tour will take place, made possible by several NYC donors (including Greenthumb, The Green Guerillas, NYCCGC, The Willim H. Harris Gardeners and Project Harmony, Inc, my CSA!)
Included in this free tour:
- a 10am breakfast in the Joseph Daniel Wilson Community Garden at 219 West 122nd Street
- A walking tour of fourteen Harlem gardens
- A Home-style Harlem Barbecue at the last garden on 153rd Street and St. Nicholas Avenue
This free tour is run to showcase the extraordinary gardens of Harlem and their many projects that are benefiting the community socially, educationally, nutritionally, and culturally. The gardens are of all types: some are shade gardens with flowers, gazebos and BBQs; others are full of vegetables, herbs, rain-water harvesting and solar energized systems; some use vertical garden space and innovative composting methods; some focus on running programs for children, young mothers, youth and seniors; others provide free environmental studies workshops, art and music events, and lessons such as canning and preserving or do-it-yourself compost. Most are some combination of many of the above.
