Hello everyone!

We will still be meeting at 12:45 this Thursday. Due to the snow we will instead meet in the Voorhees Cafeteria/Lounge to chat about this semester’s events, meet new members, enjoy some snacks together and maybe plant something (indoors).

At the end, we’ll walk over to the Academic Building to show how to water some of the plants for anyone interested in volunteering.
Hope to see you there!

Please try to attend if you are interested in helping water the plants on campus as we are in great need of volunteers!

Ready to get your hands dirty? Come help us plant ivy in the Voorhees Triangle bed, grab some snacks, and chat about everything that’s been going on this semester. See you on the 26th! :))

Green Spaces/Freedom by Design: Gathering today and special event next Wednesday, 3/20 at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden

Come by V813 at 5:00 PM today, March 13th,  if you’re around. We’ll be discussing and finalizing the presentation for the President tomorrow, as well as putting several seedlings in larger containers, and planning out the coming weeks of activities and action. All the seeds we’ve planted have sprouted except a two stubborn  types of wildflowers, so we have about 18 types of plants growing (are there any photo bloggers out there? ). 

An important announcement: one special event is next Wednesday evening. It is a class at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden on preparing  gardens for spring. It begins at 5:30 PM on Wednesday March20^th and ends at 8:00 PM (2.5 hours). Everyone is welcome but the number of seats are slightly limited so please RSVP. We can go earlier in the afternoon to see the botanic gardens – and the weather looks great for the 20th! 

Please RSVP for the BBG Class Preparing for Spring.

Good evening, 

Thank you for attending the meeting and for giving input into the Green Spaces and Freedom by Design groups! It was great to see everyone last Wednesday, and we’re very appreciative of all the amazing ideas being offered, and excited to be setting up events and trips for the coming months! We all hope to have things set up in a way that the things people’s interests and that people can attend easily.

This is to say – we are LOOKING FORWARD to your inputs on the Miro Board information – 

A few things:

• Please fill in this form telling your hopes for the club and your ideas for the semester by Wednesday, 2/7/24. 

The link to the Miro Board is here in case you’re comfortable with Miro and want to input directly: 

• Also let us know about your schedules vis a vis the following: So far, we have been working towards meetings on Wednesdays at the end of the day, and also having events/meetings on Fridays and occasional Saturdays.  For example, we’re thinking to have the trip to the Catskills, some outdoor hiking adventures, some Service Beautification Days, and the class with the Brooklyn Botanic Garden on Fridays and Saturdays. 

• Let us know generally how this works – we can always make adjustments. There are also quite a number of faculty mentors available to work with various interests so many opportunities exist! 

• The Green Spaces Club/Freedom By Design has openings for some officers – please sign up! 

• And – importantly, there are some meetings set with Vice Presidents, Provost, and Deans to discuss ideas for more interactivity with nature and establishing more plants around campus. Everyone is welcome to join. We’ll need to meet before and decide upon and prepare the topics to be discussed and ask that you attend this pre-meeting. You will receive an e-vite shortly. 

• We’ll be meeting Wednesday, 2/7, at 5 pm in V813 to look over seed catalogues and choose seeds to order and plant shortly.
