Protect and Preserve the Gardens
I wasn’t expecting this, one of the protesters did a tree-sit at City Hall Park today. She was soon brought down by ladder and arrested. Jess Sunflower climbs a tree in City Hall Park to bring attention to the threat to NYC community gardens by an impending (Sept. 17th) rule change, if Mayor Bloomberg does not intervene.
