GreenThumb gardeners, applications for the Fall 2022 Compost and Farm Apprenticeship with Earth Matter NY are now being accepted until Wednesday, August 3rd! This training offers GreenThumb gardeners the opportunity to work with Earth Matter and learn hands-on practical skills to grow plants on a small scale urban farm, with a focus on composting. You will learn how to make “Gold Standard” compost in a variety of urban environments (e.g. community gardens, urban agriculture enterprises, multi-unit apartment buildings) at Earth Matter's Soil Start Farm on Governors Island. For more information and to apply, visit: bit.ly/GTCompostTraining22 * This training is reserved for members of GreenThumb community gardens. We encourage gardeners to apply with another member from their garden, however both members still need to submit applications separately. 📷 #TBT to @nycparks GreenThumb community gardeners from the fall 2021 cohort working on their carpentry skills and creating a new 3 bin compost system. 📷 courtesy of Earth Matter NY #greenthumbnyc #greenthumbgrows
