Green Long Beach

A break from NYC pictures because I've been too busy catching up at the office to actually even download them. And besides, you know how I feel about my garden and today was garden-liscious. Today in Long Beach was the first Green festival. It was being held in the Arts District Downtown and actually goes on until 10pm tonight. It seems like it was a great success. It coincided with the Saturday AD Farmers Market and the nighttime Second Saturday Art Walk, so there was a LOT going on including music all day, free yoga in the art park, free classes, tons of green companies showing their wares, activist groups sharing their visions, and naturally our little organic community garden was in full swing as a testament to it all.

I spent most of the day in the Garden which was open to the public and which hosted the worm composting seminar (kind gross and yet so cool!). Time was spent with all the other gardeners watching people marvel at our little patch of heaven in the middle of the Arts District. The peach trees are heavy with fruit so they were giveaways along with extra seeds and seedlings each gardener contributed. We hope that everyone got inspired to grow something, even if it's in a pot on the windowsill. And a shoutout to Adriana from the blog/podcasts "Anarchy in the Garden" which I read religiously. I understand you were there seeking out information to start a community garden. Sorry I didn't know you were there and GOOD LUCK!
