BBG/GreenBridge Program speaks at our Community Workshop

GreenBridge, the community environmental horticulture program of Brooklyn Botanic Garden, promotes the greening of the urban environment through  education, conservation and creative partnerships. GreenBridge is building a vibrant network of people, places and projects dedicated to making Brooklyn a greener place.  That is why the North Flatbush Avenue Avenue Business Improvement District has partnered with this program to provide our merchants with this valued information.  Susan Fields, program director of the GreenBridge program was gracious enough to except our invitation to speak at our first Community Workshop for 2009.  We had a great turnout of residents, merchants and property owners. The workshop provided everyone with valuable information about greening our communities and ways in which we can enter the “Greenest Block in Brooklyn Contest“.    This contest in conjunction with Borough President marty Markowitz, and with support from independence Community Foundation, includes business and residential categories, as well as street gardening clinics.
