Join us for NYC Community Garden Coalition’s **FREE** annual forum. This year’s forum will serve as a platform for mayoral candidates to go on record with their policies on community gardens, parks, and urban agriculture. We will also use this day to organize and inspire the grassroots movement to protect and amplify our community gardens and open public spaces so New Yorkers can grow healthy food, learn from one another, celebrate our diversity, and nurture our planet and our communities. Register here.

Karen Washington: former NYCCGC president and outstanding leader of NYC community garden and food sovereignty movements!
