Vote for Local Community Garden Events in District 39 Participatory Budgeting

Between March 29, 2025 and April 6, 2025 neighbors in District 39 can vote for Prospect Farm to host a series of free, public arts events!

Along with 6/15 Green in Park Slope and East 4th Street Garden in Kensington, Prospect Farm is part of a Participatory Budgeting project sponsored by the Brooklyn Arts Council that will supply artists for a variety of community events and hopes to bring a greater quality and diversity to the gardens existing arts programming for the community to enjoy and be inspired by.

Below is a PDF of all projects in this year’s PB cycle as well as information on how, when, and where to vote. We hope you support our project and others that benefit the district!

COVID-19 Update

To our Prospect Farm community:

In light of new guidelines to respond to the COVID-19 outbreak, we will be following these protocols for activities at Prospect Farm:

  1. The Farm remains open for members to do essential work.  We strongly recommend that no more than two and at the most three members be present at any one time.
  2. Compost collection will continue on Saturday between 11 and 12 with one person only processing the compost.  Buckets will be put on the strip for community members to deposit their food scraps.
  3. All recommendations as to social distance and cleaning of surfaces are to be followed.  Members can bring their own gloves or take a pair home for washing after use. Another suggestion is to keep your gloves in a plastic bag in the shed with your name on it.  Wear gloves at all times to handle the locks and tools. Bring sanitary wipes if you have them.
  4. Members are encouraged to do solo gardening during the week.  You can sign up for a slot (Phil is working on a way to do this) or simply come to work.  Tasks will be posted on the white board in the shed. The planting schedule and map will also be posted in the shed.
  5. Keep us informed by writing in the log book (maybe you want to bring your own pen) or by posting an email as to what tasks you have done.
