The New York Restoration Project is holding its NYC Grows event at Union Square tomorrow. NYC Grows will give people the opportunity to learn more about gardening, urban farming, organic cooking and more through demonstrations and activities. And Woolly Pockets—which makes recycled gardening containers for indoor and outdoor use—has put up a “Living Green Wall” of edible plants and lush Native New York plant species on the Southern plaza of Union Square. And if you sign up to be a member of NYRP tomorrow, you get a free plant, too!
