If 10,000 NY Biters each keep just one medium-size plant, we'll improve the air quality for an area the size of more than 800 Brooklyn Botanical Gardens.
Cities cover only 2% of the Earth's surface but consume 75% of its agricultural resources.
Early Bloomer
The Bite
Needing a bra in fourth grade? Not. Cool. Taking a bite of that first-bloom tomato from your own vine? Awesome. Get a jump-start on greening your thumb this weekend by going to the free workshops at Making Brooklyn Bloom. Learn how to grow flowers, fruits, herbs, and veggies; start trellis gardening; conserve water; and start a composting system, among other things. We're signing up for the window box and container gardening class - perfect for our "cozy" apartment. Growing your own means fresh flowers, food, and herbs at your fingertips (no need to run to the store last-minute to pick up that basil you forgot), plus cleaner air for all of us. No preregistration required; just check in when you get there, and become an early bloomer.
