I not a fan of winter but was thrilled to find out today we have 24 days until Spring! That feels so close so I think I can survive!
This article from DNAinfo.com also cheered me up. Per the article there will be lots of flowers and vegetables growing on Brooklyn rooftops soon! The NYC Department of Environmental Protection will be funding green roof projects thanks to a $3 million city grant program. The DEP has awarded money to build green roofs on several buildings on sites in Gowanus, Downtown Brooklyn and Sunset Park. Read the article for all the details on exciting new green roof projects coming to Brooklyn.
Also per this Brownstoner.com article 2 teachers from the P.S. 335 Granville T Woods School in Crown Heights want to create an educational community garden on Bergen Street across the street from the school and teach kids about the environment and agriculture. They won approval from Community Board 8 last week but there are some hurdles since the city-owned lot has been targeted for development.
I have visions of crocuses and butterflies in my head! Spring soon!
