Celebrate the 55th Anniversary of Bruce’s Garden!

On the Summer Solstice – Friday, June 20th at 7pm – Bruce’s Garden will host a fundraising party to celebrate the 55th anniversary of our beloved community garden. Reserve your spot now!

We’ll also recognize local leaders and organizations that mirror the spirit of the garden’s founding family – the J.A., Gerri, and Bruce Reynolds, whose collective effort transformed an empty lot into a thriving garden, back in 1970. 
As many of you know, Bruce Reynolds was working for the Port Authority when he lost his life aiding victims of the World Trade Center attacks on September 11, 2001. The Parks Department recognized Bruce’s selfless bravery and service by naming the garden in his honor.
Join us on June 20th for an al fresco dinner featuring local cuisine, music by Clérida Eltimé, a Grammy-nominated cellist — and a special Sound Bath by Licia of Aveani Sacred Wellness — not to mention the good company of friends and neighbors. 
AND there will be a special raffle of honey from Bruce’s Garden bees, as well as other local treats!
Space is limited, so please reserve your spot now! 

Inwood Hill Park – Irrevocable Conditions: a Play Repertoire for Pride

Irrevocable Conditions: a Play Repertoire for Pride is Inspired by James Baldwin’s quote, “Perhaps home is not a place but simply an irrevocable condition.” 

Through 3 weeks and 4 plays, Irrevocable Conditions spends Pride Month exploring the queer community’s conditions of home: all of the plays being done are intimate in nature, and lend themselves to being performed in a true DIY sense a.k.a in an NYC apartment.

High Noon and Blue Notes: Jazz Meets the American Western

Hilary Gardner and the Lonesome Pines album “On the Trail” explores a rarely heard segment of the American Songbook – the Hollywood Western.

New York City musicians Gardner, guitarist Justin Poindexter, and accordionist Sasha Papernik will lead a concert of these songs and share stories about the immigrant voices that shaped this unique subgenre. With Aaron Thurnston (percussion), and Jesse Brenehey (bass).
