Today we are joined by New York City’s “Guru” of urban gardening, Gerard Lordahl, who serves as the Director of the Open Space Greening Program for GrowNYC (www.grownyc.org). GrowNYC is a nonprofit organization that has existed in partnership with the Mayor’s office for four decades, and improves New York City’s quality of life through environmental programs that transform communities block by block and empower all New Yorkers to secure a clean and healthy environment for future generations. For 40 years, GrowNYC has been rolling up its sleeves alongside NYC residents to: • Provide access to healthy, fresh, local food for all New Yorkers • Grow and maintain vibrant green spaces and community gardens. • Help New Yorkers recycle more and reduce waste. • Create the next generation of environmental leaders through hands-on education programs.
