It’s hard to come across my feed and not notice my love of plants and the environment. Sometimes my love of the Earth and plants butt heads with my career. It’s important to see how we live affects the fabric of our planet. The 
Towers of this size would block hours of sunlight to the Garden’s 23 conservatories, greenhouses, and nurseries. These facilities grow plants for the entire 52-acre garden site and serve as a hub for community and educational programs.
Current zoning protects the Garden’s access to sunlight by capping building height at this location. These laws must remain in place to prevent irreparable damage to the Garden. Join us in signing a petition to city officials to protect the integrity and the beauty of Brooklyn’s Garden!
