Item Description

Take the Boswyck Farms 5 Gallon Bucket Workshop! This two hour workshop starts with a brief lecture on the history and science of hydroponics. Then, all participants learn to make a simple hydroponic drip system. You go home with your system, a seed packet, and some starter nutrients for your new plant. Materials included in the ticket price.

This package also includes two tickets to the Big Green Theater Festival Benefit Performance in April of 2015. BIG GREEN THEATER (BGT) is an annual eco-playwriting program and green theater festival celebrating environmental education, sustainability in the arts, and community enrichment.

For a 4 month period every year, The Bushwick Starr theater works with a group of 5th grade students at Bushwick's PS 123, teaching a combination of playwriting and environmental education. Our program partner, Jeremy Pickard of Brooklyn based eco-theater collective Superhero Clubhouse, leads this group of young writers in creating original eco-plays, which are then presented at The Bushwick Starr's Big Green Theater Festival every April. The plays are performed by an ensemble of theater professionals using only green theater methods.

Item Special Note
