I’ve been doing some volunteer gardening work at a couple of different places here in Brooklyn. Two days a week you can find me in the native plant gardens at Brooklyn Bridge Park. One day a week I’ll be digging away at the Osborne Garden, which is in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and pictured above. I am learning a lot about native plants vs. weeds. I also feel a bit like a home cook amongst chefs. I am used to gardening on a much smaller scale, so I think I’m a bit too precious when I’m weeding. It will be interesting to learn tips on how to speed things up.
Lucky you to be volunteering at the BBG! They’re a great bunch of people. If I lived closer I’d get back into it. I’m not very familiar with the Osborne Garden, just breezing through it on my way somewhere else.
I wasn’t familiar with it either. The woman in charge of it is wonderful.
