STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. From Ariemma’s in Dongan Hills to Schweitzer’s Nursery in Grant City, spinach, kale and tender lettuces populate the borough’s garden centers. And it is with the planting season’s start and Earth Day as inspiration, Borough President James Oddo announced a new campaign titled “Get Your Garden On.”
The program highlights existing Community Shared Agriculture (CSA) programs and farmers markets on Staten Island, helps promote their activities and nudges residents to plant their own food.
