Javitz Center Rooftop Garden Trip
2024-04-17 11:00 - 14:00
Robbyn O’Neill has set up a fabulous trip for us at the Javitz Center Rooftop Garden on Wednesday, April 17th at 11am. It is a 90 minute “Lunch and Learn”. More information below. The cost is $95 per person for the Javitz Center plus cost for transportation to/from — either by ferry or member carpools. Please let Robbyn know if you would like to attend by Friday, March 30th. RSVP to robbynoneill@gmail.com.

The Javits Center has created an exciting new luncheon event series called Lunch + Learn at the Farm – providing guests with an inside look at our one-acre rooftop farm on Manhattan’s West Side. Guests will learn about the benefits of sustainable building while dining on cuisine created with our very own homegrown produce – from more than eight stories above street level! Guests will hear from our experts who have helped to transform this iconic venue into a model of sustainability. Our roof-to-table program is the latest step in our award-winning sustainable journey, which includes the largest green roof in New York State, a wildlife habitat and a robust energy conservation program.
