A Brooklyn community garden is hosting a small, free science conversation tomorrow evening. Cornell researchers will discuss beneficial insects in community gardens and the bee nesting study happening right there at 61 Franklin Street Garden.
- When: Wednesday, October 14, 2026, 5–6 p.m.
- Where: 61 Franklin Street Garden, 61 Franklin Street, Brooklyn.
- Cost: Free; the garden is the listed organizer.
- Participating: Check the event listing before heading over. It includes generic NYC Parks account information, but does not specify an event-specific reservation requirement.
The appeal is the connection between the research and the place: a chance to hear about urban insect life in the garden being studied, rather than in a lecture hall. It’s a compact after-work outing for anyone curious about gardening, bees, or the little ecosystems tucked into the city.
