Workshops
I love sharing the gift of green and am currently doing a limited number of special, customizable events, tours and workshops to help bring more green into people's lives. We list both public and private events here; and if you're looking for something customized, just send us an inquiry. Some customizable workshops include: DIY plant workshop for the office, Create Your Own Urban Jungle, and Private Garden Tours.

Tucked away in Williamsburg, Brooklyn there are a number of green spaces for the eyes to behold—indoors, outdoors, on rooftops, and in alleyways. Sure, we'll keep it hyperlocal but you'll soon see the amazing amount of green that's just within a 10-block radius. Participants will get a chance to enjoy some of the local scenery—as well as the local greenery. This tour includes a house tour at the Hanging Gardens, as well as a visit to at least 4 more separate locations. Free lunch provided by sweetgreen included.
