EVENT: Greenthumb's 41st Annual Harvest Fair is going virtual! To honor the ongoing efforts of the hundreds of GreenThumb community gardeners and greening professionals who have continued growing and producing during these uncertain times, the Harvest Fair will celebrate them for their work during the season, giving the GreenThumb gardeners the opportunity to show off the best of their 2020 harvests!
The free online event will include workshops on windowsill gardening, cooking with garden veggies, and making fermented pickles to preserve the harvest. There will also be a virtual tabling with lightning talks by GreenThumb's greening partners GrowNYC, Partnerships for Parks, and Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and the announcement of this year's harvest award winners!
