Plant some plants & cultivate some cultivation!

Whether you're growing things on a Lower East Side balcony, a Bushwick rooftop or in Greenpoint 's oil-slicked soil, we've got something for you. We'll be covering everything from container gardening to full-fledged backyard farms, beginning to end.

We'll start with seeds, sprouts and cuttings, then as Spring moves on we'll get to keeping your grown-up plants feeling healthy and free from pests.

Navigate the mysteries of PROPER DRAINAGE, the esoteric meanderings of the NITROGEN CYCLE, and map the hidden world of MICRONUTRIENTS. We can't promise you tomatoes as big as your head, but that won't stop us from trying!

some places to get excited about the spring: container gardening (from a college, so it must be right), all the heirloom seeds you can dream about, and local farms that are totally awesome--Added Value, Stone Barns, Queens Farm Museum.

This class, like all the rest, meets at Gowanus Studio Space, 166 7th St, Brooklyn

About us

Brooklyn Brainery hosts cheap collaborative classes on anything and everything.  Think book clubs on steroids.

Brainery classes don't have real teachers! Class leaders guide the learning process - you could say they know where you're heading (West!), but not that you need to take I-80 for a few thousand miles to get to Sutter's Mill.

That's where you come in! By sharing what you already know or what you've learned from the week's homework, class becomes way more interesting and way more collaborative.
