6/15 Garden Stoop Sale

It was a great day for the 6/15 Green Community Garden Stoop Sale.

Thanks to Valerie DiClerico (pictured left) and Amy Weber (pictured right) for organizing this great fundraising event for the garden. They raised $360, which is more than last year's sale.  According to them, "The weather was beautiful and a lot of people came out to show.  Some of the more interesting items were a window, a girls bike, Coach leather booths, and a lot of fun hats and children's clothing."

Thanks to everyone who volunteered and donated items!

Birth of 6/15 Green Community Garden Video

Hi everyone.  I'm really thrilled to share the video that Eman and Peggy and others created documenting the day 24 years ago where our neighbors decided to take charge and clean the lot that is now our beautiful garden.  This is the same video that was shown at the anniversary party a few weeks ago, so if you weren't able to attend (or if you just want to watch it again), here it is.  It's incredibly inspiring and after watching it, you will most likely look at the garden in a different light.  Thanks to everyone who was involved in creating this really amazing video--and, of course, thanks to everyone who helped with the clean up 24 years ago! 

Reminder: Stoop Sale This Saturday

Don't forget about the stoop sale at the garden this Saturday--all proceeds go to the garden.  Details in the flier below.
