Choosing The Best Vegetables To Grow In The North East

If you're looking to start an urban garden in the northeastern part of America, you're in luck! Plenty of vegetables thrive in this region and can be grown even in a small space.

El Flamboyan Garden Receives Citizens Committee Grant for Capital Improvements

 


Dear Farmers and KSBA Community Members,

As you know, the KSBA has played a significant role in the reorganization and development of El Flamboyan Garden. Our goal was and remains to build a structure within the 1/2 acre community farm site that helps grow healthy food for the community and build strong community leaders within The Bronx community. We are happy to report that El Flamboyan Garden just received a grant from the Citizens Committee of New York to help rebuild to site and host community workshops.

This is a significant milestone for this farming committee. We have worked hard to rebuild the site by bootstrapping, and the process has been stressful. Last year we celebrated our accomplishments together by creating our own end-of-season harvest fair. We hope to bring this event back this year. Our core focus is replacing our broken shed and building our compost system from the ground up. We have gotten a lot of help from GreenThumb and the department of the corrections youth program; for that, we are thankful. 

We look forward to giving you more updates on this community project site and, as always, remain healthy and happy.


Best,

KSBA Community Organizer
