Conservancy Neighborhood HarvestFest

Get a jump on your holiday shopping at the Conservancy Neighborhood HarvestFest! On November 6th we will be hosting local farmers & growers, artisans, and other vendors for a fun-filled day at our Outdoor Learning Center.

Come check out the garden and get some fresh fruit and veggies from local farmers, watch a live cooking demonstration, eat delicious baked goods, buy beautiful art and handcrafted goods, and more!

If you or someone you know is interested in becoming a vendor for this event please reach out to agaglio@citybloom.org for more information about how to get involved.

Open Volunteer Days

With the cooler weather, it's the perfect time to spend a day volunteering!

Check out one of our open volunteer days and help out at our Hawthorne Ave Urban farm where you'll learn about urban farming, and different fruits and vegetables. All volunteers must pre-register and fill out a screening survey. Learn more by following the link below.

Family Fun in the Kitchen

For September's Family Fun in the Kitchen recipe Chef Afi taught us how to make veggie dumplings!

This fun and easy recipe is a great activity for the whole family. Grab some veggies and head over to our youtube channel (or click the link above) and follow along with Chef Afi step by step.

Next month's recipe will be fall-themed, delicious sweet potato pancakes!

Participants of the in-person event will receive hands-on advice and demonstrations as well as be provided with all cooking materials and ingredients needed to make this recipe!

Fall Festivals

Our Neighborhood HarvestFest isn't the only fall festival happening. Throughout October and November, we'll be working with other organizations to host school garden pumpkin patches, community plant giveaways, and the Clinton Hill Harvest Festival!

These events will feature fun family games centering on fall activities like pumpkin picking, seasonal produce, and seasonal plants. Check out our website and events calendar to stay up to date on all the fun events and programs this fall.
