THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT TO LOVE YOUR BLOCK DAY

To the many volunteers who showed up to help weed, paint, compost and build beds--we can't thank you enough! You have helped LA FINCA spread its wings!

So many wonderful people came to help, talk farming, learn, and make new friends!

La Finca's Annie Moss (left) shows others how to properly deal with the compost bin!


The many folks who came for GreenUp's free plant giveaway!


One of our fearless leaders, Demetrio Surun (also known as "jeffe"), shows us how the planting is done!

There was so much to do....volunteers spreading mulch over cardboard as weed deterrent...


So much to learn....NY Botanical Gardens/Green Up's Sara Katz shows a future farmer how to plant flowers....


And good food....one of our expert grillers, playing with fire!


One of our other great photographers, Marlon, participates in the crazy idea of: "photograph the photographer while being photographed" with Zan.


Everyone got in on the farming action...even the littlest farmers!

A GREAT DAY WAS HAD BY ALL!
AND THE FARMING DOESN'T STOP THERE: THIS MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND we will be open for more work days. Join us as we finish planting and painting this weekend: SATURDAY 1-5 SUNDAY 1-4pm AGAIN, MANY THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
