Annie Novak helping kids with a corn husk craft project at the opening of the Lenape Edible Estate, 2009

…will be joining Will Allen (Growing Power), Scott Stringer (Manhattan Borough President), and myself in a conversation about the possibilities for publicly growing food in the most unlikely of places – on the streets where we live, in the middle of our cities, and in particular, in New York City – at WNYC’s Greene Space on April 8th to celebrate the release of the new expanded edition of “Edible Estates: Attack on the Front Lawn” moderated by Leonard Lopate – she also prepared delicious food for the opening of the Lenape Edible Estate: Manhattan last fall – from the produce growing in the garden – which is how I first met this awesome urban farmer.
