Join us for a biweekly virtual gardening workshop starting May 13 and continuing every other Thursday!

We will teach our youth the basics of gardening and growing their own food. We will distribute seeds, soil and necessary supplies for our participants to start their own seedlings! We will eventually plant the seedlings at one of CatRock’s garden locations in the Bronx. Let’s get excited about growing food and seeing what’s possible to accomplish in our own homes!
