Urban Roots and Grassroots Gardens of Buffalo recently received an Environmental Justice Grant from the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation. This is the second time that we have collaborated with GGB and again part of the funding received will be used to support education programs for the two organizations. The following workshops will be presented as part of the Community Garden Workshop Series. If you are interested in attending any of the workshops, RSVP to Jenny at Grassroots Gardens of Buffalo by phone at 716-783-9653. Please provide contact information as some workshops have a rain location and you will be notified if the location is changed due to weather. Also, please note the various locations for these workshops-at GGB office, various community gardens, etc.
