Hi, 

It's Bill, is there any way you could forward the email I just sent to the community garden list serves that you have. It's an opportunity for the community Gardens to get free electricity. Call me if you have any questions or concerns, 917-577-5621.

Hello Aresh,

Happy Summer to you and everyone at Children Magical Garden! Christopher Marte made it happen again (I remember the joyous celebration when CMG was saved and we took down the fence). Last night, we celebrated with him, Norman Siegel, Patti Smith, and the entire ESG community to the news of the garden being saved...and not a single mosquito bit me the whole evening! ;-)

Re: Electricity in the Gardens: it's an initiative of TimesUp. All pertinent questions! I am just the messenger. I can find more info from Bill and send out another email once I have answers for you.

Dear Magali,

Joyous Solstice and Happy Elizabeth Street Garden Preservation Day!

Could you please find out who and what exactly brings electricity to community gardens? The email is vague. Is this solar from the grid? What is the application process? Who are the installers, etc? 

We no longer work with Bill due to the various instances of our ideas and images being co-opted, as well as their code of conduct.

Gratefully yours,

Aresh Javadi
