Gowanus Nursery - Open! Yay!
Perhaps it was bad timing with our spring snow storm this week, but last weekend I went down to Gowanus Nursery (102 3rd Street)to get some plants for my box at the 2nd place Transit Garden.
I was pleasently suprised to see that they are open this summer (I belive there were rumors last year that they weren’t going to be open). The folks there are always extremely helpful and tolerant of my lack of plant IQ. Anyhoo, they hooked me up with an Allium Globe Master. This large purple onion ball of fun is the only reason I got this box, so i really hope the snow didn’t kill it!

Wait! Tell me more about the 2nd Place transit garden…it sounds like something garden community-ish…at the new garden across from the 2nd Place F entrance? How did you find out about this? (You’re going to tell me something like, ‘from the sign on the gate outside the garden’ ; ) I’d love to get involved in something like this seeing as my Henry Street digs are fresh out of dirt and grass ; )

The Transit garden is the public garden on 2nd place across from the subway. And, I’m sorry to say the best way to get involved is to look for a sign on the gate. When they announce the next meeting I’ll post a reminder here so you can come by and check it out. I think it is $25/year for the box (to help cover basic costs).
