Hi all you gardening fanatics, food-lovers, and urban ag enthusiasts,
Welcome to the Community Agriculture at NYU website!
UPDATE:
Thanks for coming to Room to Grow!
We had a fantastic time and hope you did too.
We are working on setting up regular, bi-weekly meetings.
Also, our next big project is cold frames
if you have experience building cold frames, or ideas about sourcing recycled materials (or materials in general), please get in touch!
E-mail us to get on our list serv: gardenNYU@gmail.com
ALSO — please join us on Facebook.
Remember that most of the updates to this site occur on the Blog Updates page — check there for new info.
This website will serve as the virtual-home for our Green Grant and Garden Club project. It will be a place to get info on club events, post pictures so we can watch our club progress, and network with other Urban Ag projects at NYU.
We also started this club because we want to learn more. We aren’t expert gardeners or farmers. We are students. We want to learn more about this process — the growing, the technology, the soil, the composting, the harvesting, the cooking and the community building! We’re interested in members who have knowledge to share, and those who want to learn with us!
We, Zoe and Rachel, are so excited to meet you. Please e-mail us and get on the list-serv. We’re pumped about the club, about the future garden, and about all the stuff we have planned for this fall. First, we’d like to start the conversation about what you want from a garden/agriculture club, and who you all are. (Please also visit the “About” Page to learn more about us specifically, and as a project.)
Upcoming events:
- Environmental Justice Video Night
- Pot-Luck Dinner
- Cold Frame Building Extravaganza!
- Planting Day in the Garden
- City Farms! Workshops with Just Food
- (Tentatively) a Rainwater Harvesting System Workshop of some sort
Shoot us an e-mail with ideas, suggestions, or just to say “hi.”
P.S. Yes, we were once the Green Grant called NYU Community Garden, but we wanted our name to show that we are ag-focused, and we learned from the people-in-charge of becoming a club that you can’t be the NYU anything without express permission … hence the name change.
