Welcome to the neighborhood!
Peace sis!
I've been here in Brooklyn for the last 8 years...originally from Trenton, NJ. Brooklyn is such a great place for artists...you'll find the energy here very inspiring. It's what keeps me here...despite the high cost of living.
I'd be more than happy to show you around...feel free to contact me. Let's build over a cup of tea!
Bless,

You are. As a new sista to YMIB I'm getting familiar with all that it has to offer. I read the inspirational article on you and when I saw your work I felt like you were speaking to my senses. My friends and loved ones tease me because I love so much color (see my page for yourself lol!). Your work puts my taste into a beautiful visualization. Thank you for your art, and the beauty you bring to others.
Blessings Onto You.

3. Community Gardens in New York City:
the Lower East Side of Manhattan
"If you live in an unrealistic world then you can say everything should be a community garden." Rudolph Giuliani, quoted in The New York Times, 16 February 2000.
Typically found in cities, "community gardens" are small patches of land that 1) are ostensibly owned by the local government but have actually been abandonned, and 2) have been cleared, planted and cultivated by groups of volunteers (usually people from the immediate neighborhood). Unlike "Victory Gardens" and other measures taken during emergencies (war or severe economic depression), community gardens are intended to reclaim public space as well as produce food.
Two on-line sources offer excellent advice on how to start a community garden: The Openlands Project and The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. When completed, a typical community garden includes flowers, plants and trees; places to sit; and places for children to play. Gardens can also include small bodies of water (ponds), small houses for storing equipment and materials, and art-work (sculpture, pottery and/or painted murals).
