In search of a productive way to turn strangers in to neighbors? 462 Halsey Community Gardens, a collaborative effort between Bed-Stuy residents and businesses, is hosting a soil harvesting workshop this Saturday. Join the group to learn about preserving and harvesting healthy soil. If interested, contact Alice at aliceforbesspear@gmail.com

The 462 Halsey Community Garden Project was undertaken to transform 462 Halsey, a vacant lot for almost 20 years, in to a beautiful space for the community. In aiding local businesses, providing fresh ingredients to the neighborhood, and encouraging youth involvement,  the thriving garden serves as a nexus of sustainability, prosperity, and community.

The community garden is also looking for help with its Education Committee and Compost Team, as well as with fundraising and grants and online editorial work. For more information, visit their website or contact them directly at 462halsey@gmail.com.
