Brooklyn’s Green Thumb On Display This Weekend
This Saturday, March 10th, the 31st annual Brooklyn Bloom conference is being held at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden from 10am through 4pm. The daylong conference explores ways to cultivate and celebrate sustainable innovation in the face of environmental degradation, limited resources, and climate change. This free event features exhibits and workshops that pioneer urban gardening – from rooftop and windowsill gardens to reducing your carbon footprint.
The Brooklyn Bloom has a full schedule of events. You must arrive at 10am to register for the day’s individual workshops. Some of the workshops include Teach a City to Fish – Small-Scale Aquaponics, Fruit for All: Growing and Harvesting the Best, Getting a Jump Start on Spring: Seed Starting Indoors and Out, and Looking Up: Exploring Soil and Nutrition in Rooftop Agriculture. There will also be a series of short films shown and, at the conclusion of the event, guests will be given a spring gift bag.
