Kids Garden Club (Greenpoint Library)

Join our Kids Garden Club this growing season facilitated by our neighbors at the McCarren Park Demonstration Garden.

Each workshop  will cover a different topic, serving children of different ages.

Please make sure your child fits the age group for the workshop. As we will spend time in our rooftop Demonstration Garden, parents and caregivers are required to stay at the workshop. One child per registration please!

The McCarren Park Demonstration Garden is an initiative of North Brooklyn Mutual Aid which grows fresh food for donation to the neighborhood’s free fridges. Since 2022, the garden has provided 1500 pounds of produce for their neighbors. The McCarren Demo Garden also acts as a community hub for eco education and food justice.
