Friends of Brook Park Green Team Mentoring Program

A 7 minute documentary created by students at the Community School for Social Justice under the tutelage of Karim Lopez of Citizens Advice Bureau. This informative and humorous piece is a walk through by South Bronx teens of an incredible and unique green space in the heart of the inner city. They eat fresh greens, chop wood, make a fire, walk a labyrinth, interview a parent of the year and the Director of the program. 5 Stars!

Awesome project! I love working with dirt, planting, weeding, with the added bonus of getting to eat what grew! I hope the garden continues to grow this year :)
