Meeting to Plan New Community Gardening Project in Forest Hills

Meeting to Plan New Community Gardening Project in Forest Hills
Come discuss next steps and meet your neighbors

Central Queens YM&YWHA
67-09 108 Street, Forest Hills, NY 11375

At the very successful Community Earth Day Fair, it was clear that Forest Hills residents have a great interest in sustainable and healthy food.  Sustainable Forest Hills wants to collaborate with other groups to develop one or more highly visible projects in Forest Hills.  We're not promising a particular outcome, but we look forward to next steps. We seek collaborators for ongoing community awareness raising events around gardening and sustainability.

- Propose a site for a community garden, rooftop farm, or compost collection.
- Should we try to set up a farmer's market?
- Have space for a garden but little time or knowledge for gardening?  Or are you a willing gardener with no yard? We could try the garden share system that's started in Brooklyn, matching neighbors.  http://bkfarmyards.com/
- Set up onsite school gardens through NYC’s www.growtolearn.org/?
- Other suggestions?
