April is finally here, which means that the GreenThumb growing season has officially begun!
As you create your plan for this season, please take a moment to review the GreenThumb Gardener’s Handbook, which outlines many of the resources available to GreenThumb gardens, as well as the requirements of being a GreenThumb garden. Now is a good time to go over these resources and requirements with your fellow gardeners at your membership meetings so that everyone knows what it takes to be a great GreenThumb garden. As the season gets underway, we’ll be visiting to see all of the great things that you have going on in your gardens, and to see how we can help. In the meantime, feel free to reach out if you have questions or want to share your ideas on how to make this another great season.

There is at least one familiar face you won’t be seeing in the garden this year. Spotlight, a longtime member of the West 104th Street Garden cat colony, has left the great outdoors.
Though she has given up her garden condo, Spotlight remains in the neighborhood having retired to an apartment just a few blocks away. She now resides there with a former garden member. Spot, as she is now known, is wrapping up her first winter indoors.
Her many garden friends and admirers will be pleased to learn that our feline friend has thoroughly adjusted to her new life as a couch potato. Of course, while Spot may miss her previous life from time to time — sitting in her garden and those long summer nights patrolling its perimeter for rodents — it doesn’t show…really, not one little bit.
March News & Events
Hi Gardeners!
I’m writing to introduce myself to you, the gardening community of New York City. I joined GreenThumb earlier this month, and I am absolutely thrilled to be working with GreenThumb and all of you to strengthen and support community gardens throughout the five boroughs. I am an urban planner by training, and I’m coming to GreenThumb after working in a variety of planning, policy and operations roles in the public, private and non-profit sectors. I may be a familiar face to some of you, as I am a community gardener myself in the East Village.
Like you, I am eagerly awaiting the start of the spring and have already begun planning for the season ahead. I encourage you to register for the 32nd annual GreenThumb GrowTogether Conference on Saturday, March 19th at Hostos Community College, where you can join over 1,000 fellow gardeners and greening professionals to kick-off this season. We’ll be hosting a record 65 workshops, with a keynote address by Tanya Fields – a food justice advocate and Executive Director of the BLK ProjeK. The GreenThumb team have outdone themselves again this year, and we’re looking forward to seeing you all there. Please also take a look at the 2016 Spring Program Guide, which covers many of the resources available through GreenThumb this season.
Since joining GreenThumb, I have been amazed by the talent and dedication of the entire team, and we’re all looking forward to working closely with gardeners across the City again this year. Please reach out and let us know how we can help, and let us know about all the amazing things that you’re planning for this season. We love learning about the creative and innovative ways that you are demonstrating sustainable living practices and bringing neighbors together in gardens across New York City.
As you know, GreenThumb is the largest community gardening program in the nation, with a network of over 1,100 community and school gardens that preserve nearly 5 million square feet of open green space to grow food, flowers, and communities. Scores of dedicated volunteers founded our gardens with the goal of improving and strengthening neighborhoods, and that tradition of service continues today through your continued efforts to care for and improve these spaces, and to insure that they remain inclusive and welcoming to all. It is your tireless commitment to that cause that make your community gardens (and garden communities) possible. Year after year the soil is worked, flowers are planted, food is grown, events are planned, neighbors interact, memories are made, and your communities are strengthened. Each garden is a unique and wonderful space, and you should all take pride when neighbors and passersby remark on their beauty and positivity.
We’ll be in touch frequently to see how we can all work together, and I’m looking forward to visiting gardens across the City and to meeting many of you in the coming months. 2016 promises to be another year of incredible opportunity and possibility, and I am excited to explore what we can accomplish together!
My best,
Bill LoSasso
Director, GreenThumb
