From Lauren Prentiss Hi everyone! Happy spring ?! Here are some pics from my walk in the garden this afternoon.

We mourn the loss of a true friend: generous, funny, self-effacing, and kind. He had tremendous integrity. Old school. “Bowery Pete” "His father called him Skeezix" From Jane Barrer Co-President of M’Finda Kalunga Community Garden:

Rest in peace, Pete.”
