Spring Herb Planter Roll Out | April 25
April 25 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Free
Help us kick off the growing season at Stuy Cove Park by joining our Spring Herb Planter Roll Out and celebrating Earth Month with us! Volunteers will help transplant herb seedlings that have been carefully grown indoors at the Solar One Environmental Education Center into our raised garden beds.
These herbs come from culinary traditions around the world—much like the vibrant communities that make up our city. Together, we’ll continue building our Global Herb Garden, a project we began last year to celebrate cultural connections through plants and food.
Last fall, we planted cover crops in the raised garden beds to help restore soil health. As the season shifts, those crops will be turned back into the soil to help fix nitrogen and create rich conditions for our new seedlings. With your help, we’ll move these young herbs outdoors where they can take root and thrive.
This is a great opportunity to learn about seasonal gardening practices, explore how cover crops support healthy soil, and spend time outdoors by the river with fellow community members.
Please dress comfortably in clothes you don’t mind getting dirty—closed-toed shoes are required. Bring a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated. Tools, guidance, and good company will be provided.
We will meet at Stuy Cove Park near the Environmental Education Center at 800 FDR Service Road East.
Come get your hands in the soil and help our Global Herb Garden grow!
