Hello to our wonderful GlobalGiving donors!
Today, we're looking ahead to workshops and tours. We've just prepared for the GreenThumb Grow Together, which is marks the official start of community gardening season in NYC. Each of these verdant spots contributes so much to the quest for climate health and community wellbeing, we are delighted to provide a workshop on April 1st. Here's a peek at the presentation, and yes, you can add your garden in the city to this Green Map.
Our thanks to everyone who contributes to the ongoing work and joy of Green Mapmaking! Your donation is doubly appreciated right now, as GlobalGiving's Little by Little 50% match week for all donations up to $50 continues until Midnight on Friday!
Food security and community gardens go hand in hand. We hosted a discussion on mapping local farms and food in March, see the recording in our blog. We also took part in a workshop in Chiapas Mexico, as described here, along with Spanish language Green Mapmaking resources.
