Staten Island community gardeners, and aspiring community gardens! Come connect with one another and learn everything you need to make your dreams happen. The NYC Compost Project hosted by Snug Harbor Cultural Center & Botanical Garden and GreenThumb have partnered to provide a forum for organizations who support gardens to introduce themselves and provide information. Whether you’re looking to join or start a community garden or are a member of an existing garden looking for support, this event is for you. Learn where you can find the land for your community projects, the funding, the tools, the know-how, the seeds, the programs, and more.
