7-??? Time’s Up! Garden Ride to Save the Community Gardens
“This Thursday, July 29th, garden supporters – dressed as Paul Revere- will join a Garden Bike Ride organized by Time’s Up!, a direct action environmental group, to sounds the alarms and call attention to the new rules being drafted by the City that allows gardens to be legally transferred to development, risking hundreds of gardens being bulldozed. These rules replace the 2002 Preservation Agreement, expiring 9/17/2010, that have allowed gardens throughout the city to thrive over the last decade. Cyclists will ride “horse cycles”-bicycles with cardboard horse heads attached to the front – to several Lower East Side Gardens, before heading up to Mayor Bloomberg’s house where they will bring flowers, cucumbers and greens from endangered community gardens.”
