On Wednesday we visited The Battery Urban Farm in lower Manhattan. Here are some pictures.
Welcome to our adventures in urban farming in NYC! What began as an experiment with growing a few veggies in the Bronx has become a great success for our Bridge clients and community. This is an online record of our experiences on the farm, written by Stacey Van Rossum, with photos taken by Natalie Brickajlik, the Coordinator of our Horticulture Program. Thanks to funding from Burpee and The United Way of New York, our program was made possible!

Fall has come
The temperature has dropped so the season is almost over. We continue to harvest but there was a snow storm recently and the gardens were covered with snow. I harvested the work wormbin for the 6th time. Some plants still remain in the ground but with the falling temperatures we will probably be putting the gardens to rest in the coming weeks. Here are some pictures.
