Join Damond Haynes for early afternoon tea at George Washington Carver Community Garden in Brooklyn for the GreenThumb NYC Open Garden Day.

Open Garden Day opens hundreds of gardens across New York City for people to connect with their local community. Join us to celebrate the Brooklyn community through the art of tea. We invite you to come early to explore the garden at 1:00 PM, then gather for tea, conversation, and community from 1:30 PM onward. This gathering also features Odes to Common Things poetry writing to discover and celebrate our shared humanity.

FREE event! All are welcome!
