A Garden Grows in Brooklyn
|
Happy Earth Weekend! With the weather getting warmer, working outside in the garden is a total treat. And finally, after a Winter of planning, the garden is coming along and things are getting done. This week, not only we started building a fence with reclaimed pallets and made the first raised bed, but we also received an amazing donation of soil, tools, and plants from our sponsors Brooklyn Plantology.
