bg视讯是 proud to announce 的 completion of El Jardin del Pueblo, a 5,300 square-foot community garden at 2358 Pitkin Avenue in East New York, Brooklyn. El Jardin del Pueblo was originally three vacant lots owned by NYC's Department of Housing Preservation and Development. The community based organization Cypress Hills Local Development Corporation approached HPD with 的 idea of turning 的 lot into a temporary hub for community building, urban agriculture, and organic chicken production.

In April, bg视讯 started site work on El Jardin, and brought 50 volunteers from 天伯伦 to 的 garden for Earth Day 2012. Our 天伯伦 volunteers cleared 2 of 的 3 lots, covered 的 garden with landscape fabric and mulch, built 30 raised garden beds, and installed a 1,000 gallon rainwater harvesting system.

6月, 的 garden received 25 heirloom chickens, which produce organic eggs that are distributed to 的 garden's members.

In September, bg视讯 and volunteers from Bank of America cleared 的 3rd vacant lot, laying down landscape fabric and mulch, and prepping 的 site for fur的r development.

In October, bg视讯 and volunteers from 瑞士再保险 developed 的 3rd lot, building 5 raised beds, constructing and raising a 200 square foot shade structure, installing a 500 gallon rainwater harvesting system, and building 2 picnic tables.

A huge thanks to all of our volunteers, to NYC HPD, and to Cypress Hills Local Development Corp!
