🍅 SWEET ON SUMMER: A BENEFIT FOR CITY GROWERS 🍅
Please join us on June 13 for Sweet on Summer, a benefit for City Growers.

With a focus on pollination and the urban ecosystem, the Brooklyn-based nonprofit’s programming is built around equity, justice, and empowering the next generation of environmental leaders.
The annual Sweet on Summer event raises vital funds that fuel City Growers’ programs and the educators behind them. Join us on Brooklyn Grange’s rooftop farm in Sunset Park for an unforgettable dinner that features the bounty of the rooftop!
