Ribbon Cutting

Today we celebrated the opening of the garden with a very successful ribbon cutting. The morning started with heavy rain, but cleared just in time for the ceremony. We had a great turnout that included community members, elected officials, clergy, family and friends. It was great to look around and see so many people who are invested in the project. The ceremony marked an exciting beginning but also made me reflect on the past months leading up to the big event. I've gotten the chance to meet so many amazing and passionate people. I am very lucky and am looking forward to what the future holds for the Roots of Peace Community Garden.

More exciting news....Wednesday June 15th, we will have our first guest lecture hosted by Just Food on gardening for the three seasons in NYC. The free event kicks off at 11:00am. Refreshments will be served. New York 1 will be covering the event so it would be great to get a good turnout!
