For 2023, LUNGS (Loisaida United Neighborhood Gardens) was selected to receive a $7500 grant for Down to Earth Garden/El Sol Brillante. The grant is from the Manhattan Composting Initiative for fiscal year 2023, “Intergenerational Composting Program.” The grant was used to improve our composting system, including a bokashi rotator and solar-battery system to run the rotator.
