#Volunteering at #Slow #Food NYC’s #Brooklyn #Farm

localme:

Yesterday, my friend Kent and I took many subway trains to Slow Food NYC’s farm in the neighborhood of Brownsville, Brooklyn. We were part of a large volunteer crew preparing the farm (also known as Ujima Garden) for the growing season. This summer, the farm will host 100 children who will learn about sustainable food by growing, harvesting, preparing, and eating it together. Here are some pics:













 

littlesassafras: Sprout Robot! What a GREAT idea. You put in your zip code and it tells you what you should be planting that week and gives you instructions on how to do so - for BOTH patio gardens (hell yeah gardens in the city!) and lawn gardens. I wonder what my landlord would think about window gardens full of basil… mmMm basil.

chicagourbangarden: I was at the Museum of Science and Industry Smart Home organic vegetable garden yesterday providing support for our great Cook County Extension Master Gardeners who plant and maintain the 1200 sq. ft. garden, 4 raised beds, 80 earthboxes, two beehives, an area of native plants and a rain garden. They also give tours of the garden every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Big thanks to Master Gardeners Donna Pochie, Nick Janakas, Jerry Hossli and Madiem Kawa who gave tours of the Smart Home garden and converted some of our earthboxes from cool season to warm season crops.

storagegeek: Awesome Rooftop Brewery Container Garden | greenUPGRADER “The Brooklyn brewery Sixpoint Craft Ales features damaged kegs and reclaimed bathtubs full of edibles like eggplants, strawberries, leafy greens, corn, potatoes, and melons. But they go beyond growing their own. The brewery has a rainwater catchment setup and also keeps chickens.” I would eat here everyday if I could.I bet the food is amazing.

Could you grow your own clothes? Maybe someday. Check it out:

Designer Suzanne Lee shares her experiments in growing a kombucha-based material that can be used like fabric or vegetable leather to make clothing. The process is fascinating, the results are beautiful (though there’s still one minor drawback …) and the potential is simply stunning.

Recorded at TED2011, March 2011, in Long Beach, CA. Duration: 6:41. TED Blog | Grow your own clothes: Suzanne Lee on TED.com
