C L A Y P L A Y~ returns for Mental Health Awareness month May 21 at 12:30pm @q_gardens 🌱 Registration link in bio! Thanks to @_jesssaldana_  for creating this op. Clay has long been used as as a tool to express nonverbal feelings in therapeutic settings. In this outdoor workshop participants will engage the somatosensory effects of earth based clay by re-molding and undoing ephemeral sculptures with the provided materials. 📸:1) Black/gray/white Clayplay flyer listing details of event, 2)Photo of Mary playing with clay. #play #clay #arttherapy #brooklyn #newyork Compost Tea Workshop with QG member Wade this Thursday, May 19th, 6-7pm. Wade’s interest in compost started at Q Gardens. He is now running a gardening club at John Dewey High School where his students have been experimenting with using compost tea to supply their hydroponic systems. They brew this compost tea every week!  John Dewey High School’s relationship with compost began after a field trip to Q-Gardens in 2019 ☺️@wademoodring Q Gardens is lucky to be in District 40 where @RitaJoseph is sponsoring Residential Curbside Organics Collection (Int 0244-2022)! We hope you'll join us! Let's get our hands dirty and show some love to our neighborhood street trees ❤️ RSVP via Linktree in bio! 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳 O.m.g. these young QG growers are pure joy! ❤️ ...and they are obsessed with the garden's new label maker 😁. Keep an eye out for new, multilingual plant labels popping up around the garden! 🌱🌱🌱 #communitygardening #plantlabels #labelmakerjoy Come celebrate the 2022 planting season! We'll be holding our annual plant giveaway next Sunday May 15, 11-1. We’ll have outdoor plants --tomatoes, peppers, native perennials-- and indoor plants —something for everyone ;) #plantsolidarity #plants4all4plants @circularcityweek event today at 4pm —“what will it take for NYC to get to mandatory universal organics recycling?” @saveourcompost link in the comments! So wonderful to welcome new honeybees home to Q Gardens today! 🐝🐝🐝 We're looking forward to experimenting with some new hive management techniques in 2022.. Each season brings new lessons and new opportunities for knowledge-sharing 🌞🙌 #communitybeekeeping #qgardensbees We are saying goodbye to the unattended sidewalk public food scrap drop off as of May 1st. A lot of love — and scraps!— went into that box, but it’s time to start something new: the QG DIY 24/7 Community Food Scrap Drop Off.
