Fourth Annual Community Gardeners’ Forum
Saturday, 31 May 2007 – Cuny Graduate Center - Proshansky Auditorium - 365 Fifth Avenue (between 34th & 35th Street)
The purpose of the forum is to provide gardeners access to information pertaining to legal status of gardens and future prospects, as well as to create a stronger network of gardeners working together in the face of current and future challenges.
Since its inception in 1996--when the Giuliani Administration began its terrifying assault on community gardens--the New York City Community Gardens Coalition has been at the forefront of the struggle to save community gardens. Those of us on the front lines are not only gardeners, but we have become guardians of the land, of our communities, and of our precious environment. And we will continue to fight for the permanent preservation of all functioning community gardens.
