Maximize Your Harvest with Bedford Stuyvesant Community Garden

The Bay's best newsletter for underground events & news

Hugging deer totally helps your garden grow.

So your first attempt at growing plants went well, and your pot of marigolds is growing so big you’re considering naming it “Audrey II.” But what are you going to do with your botanical pet in the winter? Or maybe you tried sprinkling pumpkin seeds in your tiny plot that vaguely passes as a yard and it’s still just a chunk of dirt with no signs of life. Either way, Bedford Stuyvesant Community Garden‘s class tonight will help you with your gardening endeavors. Maximize Your Harvest will cover identifying weeds and pests, using organic fertilizers and extending your growing season into the winter. You’ll leave with some organic fertilizer and a spray bottle, and the knowledge to grow your own killer tomatoes.

Kiley E - Ragamuffin Researcher

After years of denial, Kiley has finally admitted to baring a striking resemblance to Velma from Scooby Doo. Instead of traveling in a van hunting ghosts, she prefers wandering on foot in search of tacos, cheap beer, and fake birds. Growing up in Portland, Kiley enjoyed the balance of urban and green spaces. Then she spent her four years at Ithaca College, and found herself craving more sprawling asphalt in her life. So she moved to Williamsburg, Brooklyn, where most of the buildings look like they're about to collapse. Kiley's favorite activities include: getting lost, crafting, sewing, biking, and geeking out at museums. Her love of taxidermy probably makes her a terrible vegetarian, but she doesn't care.
