Pablo Sunflower Planting – Saturday, June 23rd at 1p.m.
Attention: All gardeners, garden supporters, organizations, and neighbors
Greetings and Salutations;
On behalf of Carrie McCracken TRUCE Garden (CMTG)and Street Squash it is with respect and regards that we invite you all to our third annual event occurring on Saturday, June 23th, 2012 at 1p.m being held at our garden on 117th Street and St. Nicholas Ave. The rain date will be June 30th.
The agenda is to have the children in your garden or organization plant sunflowers in your neighborhood garden or green space. We are searching for citywide collaboration for this initiative, which will be a yearly event that will eventually occur throughout the summer months. The www.whingsorg.webs.com sunflower tab will have further information regarding this endeavor (click on Pablo David tab).
This event is in commemoration of an extraordinary young man who was one of our shining examples of what it means to be a good citizen, leader and someone every parent would be proud of. His name was Pablo David. CMTG is located next door to T.R.U.C.E., an extension program of HCZ of which Pablo was a member and we thank his mentor, Laura Viral who has been a tremendous source of information.
We hope that your schedules permit you or your representative to attend. Everyone is welcome as we celebrate not only Pablo and his Garifuna culture; we also celebrate our youth, by encouraging parents, children, and the neighborhoods to come together in collaboration to plant seeds that will symbolize the future of a community that cares.
Please RSVP to cmtg117@yahoo.com.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Inspiration from Eren: Pass it on and get planting!
Just some inspiration! See you guys Saturday!
Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.-

Cool (weather) crops
The season is winding down, put the garden is still productive
Storm damage
New York’s short but brutal storm last night brought down a garden tree. One of the larger trees on the lot, it fell right on top of our prize sunflowers and covered some planting boxes. The garden was closed and no one was hurt.
