Our Inaugural Spring Benefit, “A Garden Grows in Harlem,” raised funds to build our Manhattan Showcase School at P.S. 7 in East Harlem. It was the most fruitful event in our organization’s history, putting us one step closer to our ultimate goal of reaching all NYC’s 1.1 million public school students with an edible education.

Explore our Manhattan Showcase School and help us continue to grow in Harlem.

 

Read press on the event from Wall Street Journal, Vogue Magazine, W Magazine, T Magazine Blog, The New York Observer, and New York Magazine’s Grub Street.

See pictures from Billy Farrel Agency and Patrick McMullan Company, and check out the chef action from the night in our Facebook album.
