Description

38th Annual GreenThumb GrowTogether Conference Rain date: Sunday, April 24, same time. Tickets will be available until two days before the event. This will allow us time to prepare for the attendees who have registered in advance. Walk-ins and people on the wait list are welcome to attend and observe, but supplies aren't guaranteed. Share tea in the garden with the local garden communities to embrace our time together and share our joint appreciation of nature, tea, and community. More than ever, we need to ground ourselves to reflect on how we can move forward and how to make sustainable changes. Experience tea together through a multi-sensory mindful experience where we will drink tea, slow down, and connect with our own senses. Learn the basic vocabulary for tea tasting, the basics of tea brewing and processing techniques. Facilitated by Wenting Zhang, Tea Arts Culture. We are a non-profit organization committed to bringing people together to explore, cultivate, and share an appreciation of tea. We believe that the beauty of tea can be a source of inspiration, self-reflection, and connection. Please visit the GreenThumb GrowTogether Conference Guide for a full list of workshop descriptions, facilitators, and other details. The guide is also available as a map. Established in 1978, NYC Parks GreenThumb is proud to be the nation's largest urban gardening program, assisting over 550 gardens and over 20,000 volunteer gardeners throughout New York City. The theme of this year’s GrowTogether is “Deeply Rooted: Growing Community Connections. Community gardeners from across New York City have been gathering at the GrowTogether conference each spring since 1984 to celebrate the start of the garden season with a day of learning, networking, and reconnecting with friends. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the conference is hybrid this year, and we're spreading it out over the course of two weeks. Part I took place virtually in February (watch the webinar recordings here!) and Part 2 will be in community gardens around the city in April.
