64th Street Community Garden celebrates annual Harvest Festival
Hello fall! On Saturday, October 18, the 64th Street Community Garden hosted its annual Harvest Festival. Students from P.S. 971, P.S. 503 and parents gathered at the garden for an afternoon of games, face painting, pumpkin giveaways, food and more.
“We’re having our end-of-season harvest festival,” said Dan Giacolone, steering committee leader and liaison between the garden, the Center for Family Life and the schools. “The theme of it is to teach the kids nutrition and urban gardening.”
The event was sponsored by the CFL. Fifty pumpkins and apples were donated by Food Town.
