Canoe Trip on the Chunky River to see the blooming Mountain Laurel. This is open to all, it's a wonderful day on the river, we will be guided by our own Gail Barton. DATE / TIME to be announced via email.

Children's Programming: Growing Up Green!

To ensure a sustainable future, it is essential that our children are exposed to sustainable living.  We are excited to announce a new initiative "Growing Up Green!"  

​If your church, school or homeschool would like to schedule a tour of the garden, please contact gogreenmeridian@gmail.com or call 917-664-7255.

This is a free event, its held at the Love and Peas Community Garden, based on the time of year, the children can pick, plant or eat such variety of plants as fresh strawberries, carrots, sugar pod peas and blueberries.

Reflections on 2016:
As we end our 4th year in the garden, we have grown (literally), attracted new people, made new friends, planted new and wonderful plants, raised money and had fun.  
Trying new receipes and cooking the food we grow has become a big part of what we share, we continue to donate raw food to local soup kitchens and food banks.  Some days there may be 2 people in the garden some days there may be 15, each day is special and we learn from each other every time we come.
