Earlier this year, the Friends of Garden Kitchen Lab and Oxfam America Action Corps decided to share the philosophy and activities of the Garden Kitchen Lab program with the broader community. We set about to create a festival, in collaboration with NYC Parks, the Citizens Committee for New York City, and the Seniors Group of the St. John’s Recreation Center, to encourage young, and old alike to embrace the garden-kitchen-lab movement.
The GROW Brooklyn Festival showcased organizations that bring greater awareness of the importance of healthy and locally grown food. As well as activities that encouraged children to explore technology, sustainability, and environmental issues.
We also had the support of our local community leaders Brooklyn Council Member Robert Cornegy and Laurie Cumbo.
And BRIC TV, an award-wining Brooklyn cable TV station invited the Friends of Garden Kitchen Lab to their studios to learn more about our work with the community the Garden Kitchen Lab program.
