Green in Brooklyn Workshops!

Every Sunday in September, Myrtle Avenue (between Hall & Claremont) becomes a pedestrian-friendly public space for dance, music, food, art & much more.  There will be kids’ activities & games, sidewalk cafes, yoga classes, performances, cooking demos & a daily raffle to win $100 gift certificates.
Here at Green in BKLYN, they also have an amazing schedule of events with:

• Brooklyn authors signing books
• Composting experts answering questions
• Bags being made from umbrellas
• Local honey being extracted from local hives
• An international dog artist making art
• And electronic waste being collected (& safely disposed of)

Plus, they will be collecting books for the local community center & broken umbrellas for making into bags.
