This is a great opportunity to pick up some plants for your yard and meet some neighbors, hear some great live music, and have a good time outdoors...

6/15 Green is a community garden, located at the
corner of 6^th Avenue and 15^th Street in Park Slope,
Brooklyn. We are hosting our annual Spring Festival and Plant Sale on Saturday,
May 16^th from 11 a.m. until dark. The rain date is Sunday, May
17.  Admission to the event (particularly
the music) is FREE. Our bake sale runs from 11 to 3. The plant sale also runs
from 11 to 3. The garden will be selling flower and vegetable plants, as well
as heirloom plants in order to raise funds for the garden; donations are also
most welcome. Plant sale dates are extended this year due to expanded public
interest. The additional dates are Sunday May 17, 11 – 3; Tuesday May 19 and
Thursday May 21 from 4 to 8, and a final sale date on Saturday, May 23 from 11
to 3 (raindate Sunday May 24, 11 – 3). Our potluck/BBQ starts at 3. Additional
highlights include live music, face painting and games for children, and the “Leaves
of Change” Gallery Project featuring photos of community gardens.  Live music will include the “Under The Willow
Gorilla Baroque” (tentative) from noon to 2; Ta Aidhona presenting a sung
tribute to Spring gardens of Greece from 2to 3; Bob Goldberg, accordion, from 3
to 4, special guests John Kessel/Mystery Band from 4 to 5, and VERY special
guest Stumblebunny from 5 on. The garden welcomes and encourages the public, neighbors
and friends, to attend. Bring friends and family, and enjoy our oasis in the
midst of the urban environment, and share the joy of gardening. The Spring
Festival is one of several events the garden holds each year to reach out to
the neighborhood and educate the public about its purpose in the community.
