Its hot in the teaching garden this summer, and our veggies are loving it! Last week, we donated about 150 pounds of produce to the Black Feminist Project. We also harvested garlic and its currently curing in our hoop house.
We have also continued to work with Bloom Again Brooklyn bi-weekly all summer, they donate the flowers from our garden to various folks all around the city.
