Think Outside the Box: Crunchy Fall Workshops
Want to learn how to do something new, smelling a little of patchouli, and potentially a lot of fun? These workshops will connect you to some interesting sub cultures in NYC and Brooklyn, and won’t cost you very much, if anything at all!
YOGURT MAKING WORKSHOP
Ever wanted to learn how to make your own yogurt at home? Ever wanted to meet other people who might also share your joy of yogurts? This Wednesday is your chance! Along with the yogurt, you will also learn how to make homemade nut and rice milks, which are nutritious, tasty, and use less packaging and travel-time than store-bought rice and nut milks. Bring a food offering to share with your new friends because a potluck follows the workshop. Pre-pay through PayPal to reserve your spot.

LEARN HOW TO BUILD COLD FRAMES FOR YOUR GARDEN
If you have an outdoor garden, or just want to learn some random gardening/farming tools, enjoy an early fall evening in the Brooklyn Botanical Garden on Thursday night learning how to build cold frames. Now if you are anything like me, you will be thinking that a cold frame is possibly a frame made out of ice to hang outside in the winter'? Well, a quick trip to Wikipedia clarified things for me. A cold frame is 'œa transparent-roofed enclosure, built low to the ground, used to protect plants from cold weather.' Usually they are used to extend the season in which a plan will grow. GreenBridge is hosting this FREE hands-on workshop to teach you the basic skills needed to construct a cold frame out of low-cost or found materials. Registration is required. This might come in very handy for you someday! Believe it.
