Bed Building at Roberto Clemente Community Garden

We had a great workday today with Sustainable South Bronx and Bronx Green-Up at Roberto Clemente Community Garden in Highbridge in the Bronx.  We did some general clean up, finished a stone path, transplanted some plants, and built new raised beds for the garden.  Several gardeners stopped by to help with the work and the rain held off until after we left.  Thanks for everyone’s hard work, the garden is beginning to look great!

Building Picnic Tables at Daly Avenue Garden with SSBX and BGU

We had our first work day of the year yesterday at Daly Avenue Community Garden in the Bronx.  The Sustainable South Bronx (SSBX) BEST ECO team along with Bronx Green-Up braved the cold and by the end of the day, turned a stack of boards into two beautiful, sturdy picnic tables and four benches.  The gardeners will be able to use the picnic tables and benches for years to come.  We will be continuing work projects at Daly Avenue Community Garden throughout the season, as we work to revitalize the garden.  We have a busy weekend coming up–on Saturday March 5th, we will be having an organizing meeting for Carver Community Garden in East Harlem in the morning at 10am at the 125th St. branch of the NYPL.  In the afternoon, we will be back at Daly Avenue holding an organizing meeting at 1pm, followed by pruning with Bronx Green-Up.  If you’re interested in joining a garden, Find a Garden near you and Contact Us.
