This free annual event kicks off the spring gardening season with exhibits, workshops, networking, and speakers.

In keeping with the notion of sankofa—remembering the past in order to move forward—this year’s theme, “Roots of Resilience,” will examine the ways in which sustainability is tradition, not trend. Our grandparents may have grown up on farms, but today, more people than ever are city dwellers and must actively seek reconnection with the land and nature.

Resilient gardening practices can serve to bridge our collective past with a greener, more equitable future. The Wilbur A. Levin Keynote Address, “Organic: Our Origins, Our Stories,” will be delivered by Onika Abraham, Director of Farm School NYC.

Register the day of the event to secure space in workshops and at keynote address. For more information, please visit the Brooklyn Botanic Garden website.
