This annual event was created to strengthen the local design community's commitment to giving back to our city. This year we have organized three volunteer opportunities in August to promote the impact we can make as a group. In September we will come together to celebrate the work we have done.
Join us on August 23rd as we work with GreenThumb.
GreenThumb was initiated in response to the city’s financial crisis of the 1970s, which resulted in the abandonment of public and private land. The majority of GreenThumb gardens were derelict vacant lots renovated by volunteers.
These community gardens, now managed by neighborhood residents, provide important green space, thus improving air quality, bio–diversity, and the well–being of residents.
On Sunday we will be pruning, cleaning, gardening and building to help restore a community garden in Coney Island.
Plan on joining us after for a cold beverage!
