We hope to have more poetry events at the Bears. Stay tuned!
Open Garden Day, June 6th
Finally, we were opened on Open Garden Day! As part of the GreenThumb’s annual citywide event, we invited the community into our green space, which had been shuttered for almost a year and a half.





Our main event was the women of Batalá, a garden favorite! They spread their good beats and vibes all over, making Flatbush Avenue sound so good!

We hope to have more open days at the Bears Garden!
