Community Engagement Tea
In collaboration with NYC Parks GreenThumb, we bring accessible creative arts and tea programming to our partner community gardens throughout NYC.
With a focus on historically underserved communities, we train community gardeners in the art of tea through our Mentorship Program so they in turn can take the lead on bringing creative arts and tea programming to their gardens to nurture and sustain community roots and connections.
