Brooklyn Botanic Garden

I really like New Jersey Endangered and Non-Game Species and program for information about wildlife and there will also sometimes be information about plants.

I like Missouri Botanic Garden, Brooklyn Botanic Garden.

You can look at their websites and see their bookshops and there somebody has already gone through the effort of editing what they offer through their shop.

And those are really great sources.

I also really like the blogs on Brooklyn Botanic Garden.

There's great information about pruning.

Not all of it is native by any means, but they are really good about that.

And Alyssa has spearheaded the safe associated supermarket movement to protect one of the last affordable supermarkets from being removed from the community.

She's engaged in a pro se litigation, multimillion dollar lawsuit that focused on the massive amount of development being proposed along the perimeter of Brooklyn Botanic Garden and the Jackie Robinson playground.

Currently, she has been educating and going around the city, presenting in all five boroughs to help empower the community with information and strategies.

Hi, Alicia.

way of doing it by the city.

Then private developers then put private applications for each piece of land.

And one private developer had decided to try to build the largest residential complex in Brooklyn right against the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens.

Wow.

In this conversation, Eric takes us inside the new large ensemble recording of Canto Ostinato, made with Metropolis Ensemble and Sandbox Percussion.

We talk about how that collaboration grew from a 52-musician performance at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and how playing repetitive music with other people changes your relationship to time, attention, and the piece itself.

Eric also shares his path from classical piano and jazz drumming to years of touring and record making.

We get into microphone placement, interpreting a score, the value of practicing slowly, and his return to writing original music.

And, um, Andrew Sear is the conductor and artistic director of Metropolis Ensemble.

He read that and he is someone who regularly produces large scale site specific projects and commissions arrangements.

And so he has this annual concert at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden that he does regularly.

where he engages a different composer or performer or set of composers and just does something kind of grand, you know, and his idea was to reach out to me and ask if we might rearrange the piece for a much larger group.

And like that, there's like all this little stuff.

And where are you going to get married? We're looking at Brooklyn Botanical, Snug Harbor, somewhere in New York or California.

We haven't really decided.

I got married in Central Park.

How to make a start with community gardening from War Gardens by Montague Free, head gardener of the Brooklyn Botanical Garden, published in 1918.

Coffee Break Collection 33, Gardening.

This is a LibriVox recording.

She didn't come to that topic abstractly.

She'd found a note like hers once herself, tucked away in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, left by some other stranger for some other stranger to find.

She said it nearly brought her to tears.

She was so glad she opened it.
