A sunny day off a few weeks ago led me to Hayseeds Big City Farm Supply, the new (and sadly temporary) pop-up urban gardening store in Greenpoint. The store is a partnership between the lovely folks at Brooklyn Grange, Domestic Construction and the incredibly knowledgeable Meg Paska of Brooklyn Homesteader. The space is beautifully arranged and full the to brim with an assortment of gardening-related items that would please even those without the greenest of thumbs. I picked up some field peas and a neat little biodegradable pot to plant them in, and they have been growing like crazy. Make sure to check out Hayseed’s before it closes for the season, and let’s all hope this pop-up becomes a spring and summer Brooklyn staple.
