Hi neighbors! This cat has been coming to our garden this week + starting fights with our very elderly garden cat, Oreo. If you know who this cat belongs to, please ask them to keep it inside, otherwise we will need to trap it. Thanks for helping us spread the word! pic.twitter.com/6WLz43TTEX

The 6th & B Community Garden Plant & Bake Sale Fundraiser
Sixth Street and Avenue B (entrance on Avenue B between Fifth and Sixth)
Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The Plant and Bake Sale supports the Garden's Events Committee's community programs, which include crafts, horticultural/science workshops, culinary events, films, multicultural festivals, and musical and theatrical performances from around the world.
Longtime East Village resident Mary Bellis aka CalmX was a filmmaker, artist and writer.
She received an MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute and funding from the National Film Board of Canada to create her experimental works. Her 1984 independent film "Agent of Paradise" shot in the New York underground art scene starred numerous downtown performance artists, including John Kelly, The Unknown Comic, Philly McAninch as well as James Oseland star of Bravo TV’s "Top Chef Masters." "Agent of Paradise" premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival and screened in art house theaters worldwide.
Mary worked as an independent video game developer, animator and journalist while continuing to make and exhibit her computer-generated art. She was the originator and author of the Inventors site for the web portal about.com.
Mary loved tending her garden at 6th Street and Avenue B and dancing at the Pyramid Club. Mary was a beautiful person and dear friend and will be greatly missed by all of those she touched.
Please join us in a celebration of life for our friend at the 6th Street and Ave B Community Garden on Sunday from 4-8 p.m.
Our Harvest Fest is still going on today despite the rain (it's forecast to clear up around 2 pm, the start of our event). From 2-7 pm, there's food, live music and tons of raffle prizes donated by businesses in the community. This is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and helps keep our garden open and able to serve the community with workshops, events and activities.
