SUMMARY:Community Ecology Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:Join NYC Parks Greenthumb and Solar One’s Stuy Cove Park at BioBat Art Space for the spring 2025 edition of the Community Ecology Reading Group! This media meetup is a non-traditional book club– here’s how it works: bring a book\, article\, podcast\, film\, etc related to this season’s theme of MICROBES as well as a short snippet or quote you’d like to share with the group. We’ll casually and tangentially discuss all things bacterial\, fungal\, eukaryotic and viral while enjoying some fermented beverages and other snacks (feel free to BYO!) We can read aloud to one another and add our contributions to the ongoing crowd-sourced Ecological Reading List\, which can be viewed here. \nAfterwards we’ll take a walk through the current exhibition Water Stories\, curated by Elena Soterakis\, which includes a good many algal ancestors\, ecological extremophiles\, and recalcitrant microbes from whom we surely have much to learn about surviving on a rapidly changing planet. We hope to see you there! \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/community-ecology-reading-group-tickets-1264426777529?aff=oddtdtcreator&mc_cid=e7b058d6d7&mc_eid=2a8d5c4ebb \nThis event is FREE.

SUMMARY:Spring Herb Planter Roll Out | April 25
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThese 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. \nLast 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. \nThis 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. \nPlease 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. \nWe will meet at Stuy Cove Park near the Environmental Education Center at 800 FDR Service Road East. \nCome get your hands in the soil and help our Global Herb Garden grow! \nSave your spot HERE! \n——- \n\nIf you would like to support Solar One\, our work\, and community events at Stuy Cove Park\, please consider making a small donation here.
