Chickens at Urban Meadow.

Urban Meadow, a beautiful community garden on President and Van Brunt, has added chickens to their space.  They've had them for a little while now but just recently we noticed that a couple of them were roaming free so we snapped this pic.  The tulips and other spring flowers are blooming, along with the scattered flowering trees.  That as well as the picnic benches, brick garden paths and now the chickens strolling around make this a really cute spot.

Children's Garden Updates!

The South Brooklyn Children's Garden has come a long way!  Here are a couple of pics.  The one below is just a few of many raised beds they have.  Ready for lots of spring veggies!  They are also working on building a greenhouse, as you can see pictured above.  That and the picnic tables they have set up makes this for a great space! As of February 12th membership application for the coming season were open.  We couldn't however figure out how to find one.  If you'd like to become a member maybe message them on facebook.

The Children's Garden!

We reported back in May that the lot at Sackett and Columbia is set to be turned into a children's garden.  We were very excited when we found out and couldn't wait to see the eyesore of an empty lot be transformed into something great for the community.  We don't have to wait any longer! Alright, well, maybe a little bit longer.  But,  as you can see in the pic above, the transformation has begun and folks were working on it last weekend.  A lot of people came to help out.  Man, we love our hood!  The Columbia Street Children's Garden is on it's way!
