BBG’s annual community horticulture event, Making Brooklyn Bloom, is tomorrow (Saturday). This year the MBB program is titled "Edible NYC: Green It! Grow It! Eat It! and is devoted to urban agriculture and building a healthy food system in  our borough (and beyond).

There are 15 hands-on workshops to help educate city residents on how they can grow food at home and make their neighborhood a little bit greener by doing so. Apartment dwellers with a single windowsill might take Savoring Home-Grown Herbs Year-Round; those with a small outside area or even fire escape can learn from The Sky’s the Limit: Growing Food on Trellises; and for brownstone residents with– gasp! — a yard, The Edible Palette: Food Producing Plants for the Decorative Landscape is ideal. (Note that BBG’s vice president of horticulture is teaching the latter workshop; all these workshops are conducted by BBG staff or other experts in the field from organizations like Slow Food, Just Food, and East New York Farms.)

All visitors, of course, will likely love Best Vegetables and Fruits for Brooklyn or Raising Chickens and Bees in the City.
