WATERCOLORS OF THE WINDSOR TERRACE NEIGHBORHOOD ON DISPLAY

The Watercolors of Phil Desantis

March 29th through May 6th,

Mondays through Fridays from 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

From Tom Keough for the Park Slope Windsor Terrace Artists:

              Phil Desantis at Founder’s Workspace

The beautiful watercolors of Windsor Terrace artist Phil Desantis are on display at the Founder's Workspace, a co-working space recently opened at 553 Prospect Avenue.

The workspace is small yet packed with amenities, sunlight, and good people. They bring talented local entrepreneurs together in a space where they can grow their work, and this makes it a wonderful place to exhibit the art of Windsor Terrace scenes.

Phil's work really shows the spirit of Windsor Terrace through the charming details of our neighborhood.

Presently, Phil has been focusing more fully on drawing and painting as well as exploring ceramics and photography.

NEW CSA IS STARTING UP NEXT WEEK IN WINDSOR TERRACE

A CSA that's new to Brooklyn is offering a Late Spring Share, starting next week. The pick-up location is Founders Workspace at 553 Prospect Avenue, near the corner of 10th Avenue.

The share is for six weeks of weekly deliveries. A "share" is a membership or subscription in the CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). 

The first delivery will be on Thursday, May 4th, and the final one will be on Thursday, June 8th. Pick-ups are on Thursdays from noon to 6:00 p.m.
 
The vegetables are grown by Pete's Greens, a certified organic, four-season, vegetable farm in Vermont. Pete's Greens grows vegetables according to the season, year-round.

The weekly delivery is a box of five to seven types of farm-fresh vegetables, including fresh greens. In the spring, a box will contain

• tender greens like kale, chard, Asian greens, and spinach;
• hearty potatoes, carrots, and beets;
• storage onions and fresh onions;
• young radishes, parsnips, and salad turnips; and
• head lettuce, cucumbers, baby fennel, and more.

Each week, CSA members also receive a newsletter with storage tips, recipes, and news about the farm.

A share costs $25 per week. Sign up now to receive one free introductory delivery: pay $125 for six weeks of deliveries instead of $150. Pay with either a credit or debit card.
