Garden Mapping (El Puente Espiritu Tierra Community Garden)

Sunday, March 23rd at 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM

Garden mapping is a great way to beat the winter blues and plan for the season. In this workshop, participants will learn how to create a simple to-scale physical map of their garden space to support garden planning and record keeping. We’ll discuss environmental factors that affect planning, such as common wind directions, rainy or dry areas, the direction of water drainage (lowest area), the pattern of the sun, and any shadows from large structures or trees. Attendees will receive supportive literature on plant spacing, soil chemistry, companion plants, and incompatible plants to support garden planning.

NYC Parks GreenThumb hosts this event. We are proud to be the nation’s most extensive urban community gardening program, sustaining over 550 gardens throughout New York City. With GreenThumb’s support, community gardens are centers of environmental justice, ensuring that our city is fairer, safer, and greener for all. GreenThumb’s events are free and open to the public.
