Summer season has officially started. Bring your compost!

CSA member picks up her share of vegetables
Summer season has begun, and we can now look forward to fresh greens and other veggies every week! I love just grabbing a handful of them and adding them to every dish. Kale, dandelion, lettuce, garlic, bok choy, and more as the season progresses.

While you're at it, bring your food scraps in to compost rather than letting them accumulate in landfills. We are a drop-off site for the NYC Compost Project in the Bronx. From 4:00pm to 7:30pm every Thursday, bring your food scraps to get composted at the community garden drop off site located at 2978 Bainbridge Ave, Bronx, NY 10458.
