There are still a few spaces left on our sign-up sheet for this Sunday. If you'd like to join us, RSVP to me at:michelle.dent@nyu.edu. It's going to be VERY awesome.

Weeksville Urban Farm Service Trip to Brooklyn (BCG in collaboration with the Urban Architecture Stream)

Weeksville Heritage Center is a multidimensional museum dedicated to preserving the history of the 19th century African American community of Weeksville, Brooklyn.  Using a contemporary lens, the Center activates this unique history through the presentation of innovative, vanguard and experimental programs.  Weeksville advances its mission through history, preservation, visual and performing arts, ecology and the built environment.



After a tour of the site, students will help plant the heritage garden and flower beds, as well as assist in building and painting plant structures.  Please wear comfortable clothes you can work in and get dirty.  No open-toed shoes or sandals, please!

Breakfast will be provided.  Enjoy coffee and pastries from Leske's, a 50-year old Brooklyn-based, family-owned Scandinavian bakery and neighborhood institution.
