Learn
Bronx Green-Up offers the chance to discover the urban outdoors and learn by doing in local community and school gardens and urban farms. We offer seasonal, garden-based workshops and partner with sites on projects from planting and pruning to food production and light carpentry. We also offer more in-depth instruction through our certificate programs: Grow More Vegetables, Pruning, and Soil is Alive.
