Here at Green in BKLYN, we’re so excited to be a part of Myrtle Avenue’s annual Move About Myrtle.  By far, one of the great September events of the Ft. Greene / Clinton Hill / Bed-Stuy area.

What (you may ask) is Move About Myrtle?

Every Sunday in September, Myrtle Avenue (between Hall & Claremont) becomes a pedestrian-friendly public space for dance, music, food, art & much more.  There will be kids’ activities & games, sidewalk cafes, yoga classes, performances, cooking demos & a daily raffle to win $100 gift certificates.

Here at Green in BKLYN, we’ve also got an amazing schedule of events with:

• Brooklyn authors signing books
• Composting experts answering questions
• Bags being made from umbrellas
• Local honey being extracted from local hives
• An international dog artist making art
• And electronic waste being collected (& safely disposed of)

Plus, we’ll be collecting books for our local community center & broken umbrellas for making into bags.

Be sure to mark your calendar.  September’s gonna rock the ‘hood!  Here’s the schedule to prove it…
