Community Garden Of Resilience will host a Member Day on June 27, 2020 from 10 AM-1PM. The event will kickoff the 1st season the new garden will embark on. Community residents are invited to join the garden in planting the 1st flower beds and help with the maintenance of the land. The mission of the collective community space is to address the issue of food insecurity and provide STEM/STEAM based activities for surrounding educational institutions and the greater community.
The Community Garden Of Resilience land is stewarded by the residents of Southeast Queens and was made possible by the hard work of The Laurelton Operation Clean Up & the students of three schools in Laurelton (P.S 156, P.S 132, and The Linden SDA School)Â petitioning to transfer the abandoned lot to the Parks Department. The process has taken 2 years almost.
Community Garden Of Resilience will provide pumpkin seedlings and garden starter kits to all volunteers. Join Us:
