Community gardens take center stage in mayoral forum on urban sustainability

Via the EVG inbox... 
The New York City Community Garden Coalition and Loisaida United Neighborhood Gardens will host a Community Gardens' Mayoral Forum on Saturday, May 24, noon to 2 p.m., at St. Mark's Church-on-the-Bowery, 131 E 10th St. at Second Avenue. 

The event will highlight the role of community gardens in New York City's sustainability and environmental future ... followed by a moderated Q&A with mayoral candidates. 

The event will also challenge the narrative that community gardens obstruct affordable housing development, exploring solutions to balance urban growth and green space preservation. 
This forum offers candidates the opportunity to share their vision for a sustainable New York City and engage with voters passionate about community gardens, environmental justice, and sustainable urban policies.
