Cultivating their own brand of horticultural heaven, Stuyvesant Town invites residents to join them in the Oval this weekend for their Greenmarket and Children’s Landscaping event!
Saturday morning promises the freshest fruit, vegetables, flowers and baked goods, all from neighborhood bodegas. Unlike the Farmer’s Market in neighboring Union Square, the Greenmarket will feature half the selection at twice the price.
And if little Junior is driving you crazy, send him over to the children’s landscaping clinic where Stuyvesant Town’s own head landscaper will show him how to plant new trees within inches of each other while wolf-whistling at women passing by.
The weekend’s events hope to introduce both children and parents to the fun of gardening while teaching the importance of buying and eating local produce. Wicked cool!

Who said that the Stuy Greenmarket products are overpriced? At this week's market rent-stabilized tenants were able to purchase a very fancy gourmet brand of tomato known as S. Saintpaul at a substantial discount. According to posted signs, this veggie, which comes from Florida and Mexico, is best eaten at room temperature. Cooking destroys its flavor and zip.
I thought the idea of the Greenmarket was to sell LOCAL produce, not produce from Florida and Mexico.
