Build a Floating Garden Saturday, July 15, 11-4pm

RETI Center is hosting a City of Water Day workshop at our Field Station that is sponsored by GBX~ Gowanus Bay Terminal. Join us to help build and launch our next Floating Garden. Handbuilt by volunteers like you, they create a mini-ecosystem that incorporates marsh grasses, mussels, oysters, and kelp. You'll help us build one using only salvaged and sustainable materials like scaffolding planks, reclaimed fishing nets, wine corks, salvage steel, and more. All skill levels and ages welcome. Refreshments, all tools and supplies provided.

City of Water Day, organized by the Waterfront Alliance, the NY-NJ Harbor & Estuary Program, and The Hudson River Foundation, helps raise awareness about the dangers we all face from sea level rise and climate change, and to advocate for a climate resilient New York and New Jersey harbor.
