Spring is Coming

April is just around the corner but April showers have already begun!

We all know Spring is the season for renewal and with patience we'll all be frolicking through blooming gardens and taking cat naps on freshly grown grass.

In anticipation for our favorite season of the year, we have lots of new Spring items here at Commune.

April is the month to start planning and preparing for your garden!

Whether you grow your own plants and vegetables, or reap the culinary benefits off of those who do, we can all appreciate Spring harvest.  

New ‘Dandelion Wishes’ and ‘Extra Special Delivery’ journals from Chronicle Books are a charming way to remember all your special days.

Growing local

There is a trend right now in Brooklyn that is the coolest thing ever and it's rooftop farming! For decades people have been trying to recreate nature within their urban landscape by creating rooftop gardens and it looks like new yorkers are now more and more educated and ready to take it to the next level to actually grow their own veggies and green food.  We all know the benefits of buying and eating local.  Definitely a step in the right direction for urban life.

Not to mention that rooftops gardens and farms are such an eye candy for a city like ours!

If you wish to visit a (rather large) public rooftop farm, here is the list of the 5 top urban farms in NYC.
