The program serves nearly 325 community-gardening projects, including school, library, hospital, and neighborhood community gardens. Improving gardens and other greening projects through innovative workshops, the community-horticulture program provides garden projects with basic materials, while encouraging more established gardens to venture out and pursue new directions. Bronx Green-Up supports the goal of a garden or greening project at every public school in the Bronx, and works to establish a network of gardening teachers who can support and inspire each other. Participants will receive a plastic worm bin and redworms, as well as a copy of the book Worms Eat My Garbage . For people without access to a yard and interested in indoor composting.
