Bring your music, wear your costumes. It’s time to party!!

We are asking all gardens to be open from 1 til 3 and welcome the revelers.  Bring your smiles and kids, your music and your dance and join us as we snake Pied Piper style through Loisaida.

Flower Power–Peas & Love–Salad Daze 

Three groups will parade through the neighborhood visiting each garden and then converge at 3pm at El Jardin del Paraiso on E.4th St, btwn Aves C & D for continuing music and and frivolity.

Each group will form at one pm.

Flower Power comes from the north beginning in Dias Y Flores on E. 13 St btwn Aves A & B. Smells like Flower Power.

Peas & Love breaks out of the south at Children’s Magical Garden on Stanton and Norfolk Sts. Dance like nobody’s watching.

Salad Daze blasts in from the west erupting from LaGuardia Corner Gardens at LaGuardia Place and Bleecker St. The The Salad Daze posse will be on bikes. Speed and dazzle.

Dear Friends of Children’s Magical Garden,

Things are moving forward with the situation with the part of our community garden that’s currently fenced off from our use, lot 19.

We’ve sent out some careful and diplomatic channels to the new developer.

However, we need to protect our legal rights and make sure that he doesn’t start building on our community garden.
So… we’re filing our adverse possession claim tomorrow, March 10th.

The developer has refused to talk thus far.

We’re having a press conference about our magical community garden this coming Tuesday March 11th, 7:15 AM. Come before school or work.

Where: At Children’s Magical Garden, on the corner of Stanton and Norfolk St. Click link for google map location.

F train to Delancey, LES (walk 2 blks north)

Who: We need as many people as possible, especially children, parents, teachers, other school workers and students.

Why: To show the press community support and love of the community garden to help make it whole.

The fun bits: There will be hot cocoa, doughnuts, cider, apples, and some other healthy alternative for people’s breakfasts. You’re welcome to bring something to share!

Help: We need help spreading the word, especially to school children and their parents and teachers, but to everyone.
You’ll find a flyer attached. Word of mouth and phone calls work best of all, so tell all of your friends and make a hot cocoa date for Tuesday morning!
