A little bit of summer

Something to brighten things up for you gardeners during this cold, cold week. I don't know about you but I could use a little color now.

BUGS Middle School

I thought garden members would be interested in the blog post (link below) about a new charter school opening very near the garden in Windsor Terrace.  It's called BUGS or Brooklyn Urban Garden Charter School and it will focus on "an environmental sustainability focused curriculum" including a rooftop container garden.  This blog post came from someone who writes about Brooklyn schools and I'm posting the link here with her permission.  Seems like a very interesting project to be happening in our community and perhaps some garden members will want to somehow become involved.  Enjoy reading the post.

The Garden in Winter

There's something especially lovely about the garden this time of year when a few living things remain and the colors show through all the brown.
