The Bronx River Foodway is a pilot project at Concrete Plant Park in the Bronx developed by the NYC Parks Department and the Bronx River Alliance to examine how a sustainable food landscape can be integrated into a public park. The goal is to jump-start the imagination and think about new ways to use land within the city.
Currently the Foodway offers access to a variety of edible plants including medicinal plants like echinacea, nut trees like the chestnut, an assortment of native berries, as well as a section dedicated to kitchen herbs and recognizable veggies.
Join the BJ Environmental Activists for a fun and educational tour of this amazing project! The tour is free but we encourage participants to make a donation to the Bronx River Alliance at www.bronxriver.org.
Public transportation is available but we will coordinate car-pooling for people who prefer to get a ride.
