Peephole

In certain parts of Brooklyn there are some empty lots that have been converted into community gardens.When I first saw the gardens about two years ago I was quite amazed.I saw some young adults behind the fences doing some gardening which really impressed me.In Brooklyn you just don't see young adults,esp guys, planting much of anything.I saw beautiful flowers at the garden then as well as vegetables.There's no gardening being done now because of the weather,but I gather it will pick up again in the spring.Flower pots,planters,and potting benches can still be seen behind the fences.The gardens are overseen by the New York City Department of Parks.Classes are also offered to the community for anyone interested in learning about gardening.
