Gardening! Not just for the warm weather!

Brooklyn's Botanical Children's Garden is certainly not hibernating this winter! While certain animals, plants and flowers snooze through the cold months the Garden is in full bloom with activities abound. Little ones have the opportunity to work in the green house, plant in cold frames and explore the garden! Definitely a place to visit this winter! The kiddies will love you for it. Check it out for more details-http://www.bbg.org/edu/children/childrensgarden.html

Prospect Park, Skate Nice!

Heck, you don't need to go to Rockefeller Center to get your figure eights on this winter! You can show off your skating skillz right smack in Brooklyn, at Wollman Rink located in Prospect Park (seriously this Parks got it all). The nice thing about this rink is it is less crowded and the price is right ($5 or $6.50 for entry and rentals)! So head out there and enjoy some yummy hot cocoa, winter skating and some fun family time (plus it's a good way to tucker the little ones out! :)

American Cancer Society Holiday Market 09'

BKLYN Yard was a vendor for the American Cancer Society's Holiday Market Place where we had the opportunity to show off our goods while doing some good! Not only did we make a few sales but we met some cool vendors. Khris Justo was incredible, providing a lot of useful advice for our new line. She is also the designer of Kaija New York, a cool hand bag line made with all organic/eco materials that empower underprivileged women. Check it out at kaijany.com. We also bought some stylish headbands from Molly Gee (mollygeedesigns.com) and didn't stop there. Nicole took home a dope winter hat from Lara Kazan, sure to keep her warm this winter. 'Twas a good day in deed for BKLYN Yard. We are thankful to the American Cancer Society for inviting us to join in this endeavor.

Happy Holidays & Play Nice
