What People are Saying

"Did you know your cupboards and refrigerator shelves contain a vast array of dyestuffs that can be used to naturally color you clothes? Onion skins! Purple cabbage! Black beans! Join us for this workshop where we'll cover the basics of natural dyeing processes as well as learn how to make dye baths from spices, dry goods as well as fresh vegetables.   Lisa Sikorski is an artist and educator who has been working with fiber for over 20 years. She started the urban homesteading project faux(h) at the farmhouse, teaching workshops on natural dyes, canning and simple medicinals. When she is not homesteading, she can be found chasing after tiny fiber superstars at the Textile Arts Center where she manages the Brooklyn Youth Education Program."

"That's right! It's not too late to start gardening. There are many vegetables and herbs that do well in cooler temperatures — kale, collards, spinach, lettuce, swiss chard, rosemary and cilantro, to name a few. There are also other advantages besides having fresh produce after the summer — fewer pests to contend with, less watering required, and much less work…guaranteed. Come plan and plant with us — and take home a few transplants for your own garden. Sheryll Durrant is an urban farmer, educator and food justice advocate. She is currently the Garden Manager at Kelly Street Garden, and Farm Coordinator for New Roots Community Farm managed by International Rescue Committee (IRC,) both in the Bronx. For the past 7 years her work has included developing community-based urban agricultural projects, and providing expertise and technical assistance for supportive housing gardening programs while serving as the director of the urban farm and garden program for Sustainable Flatbush in Brooklyn. She is also responsible for communications and outreach for Farming Concrete, a data collection platform that helps urban farmers and gardeners measure the impact of their work.  She is a parent founder and former board President of Brooklyn Free School, and served as committee co-chair and budget delegate for Participatory Budgeting in the 45th Council District since its inception in 2011."
