7. Greenpoint Library gives away produce from its rooftop garden
The Greenpoint Library doubles as an Environmental Education Center, complete with a rooftop garden. The garden is used for demonstrations, to show how certain plants can grow in an urban environment. All of the produce that the library has grown so far has been given away to its patrons.
Tomatoes, kale, spinach, lemon balm, and radishes are just a few of the crops the library has produced in its first two growing seasons. There is no regular schedule for when produce is available. Keep an eye on the Library’s Facebook and Instragam pages to see when some might be available! To take part in events at the rooftop garden, check out the library’s website.
