Greens are packed with vitamins, nutrients and fiber—and often pushed aside by picky eaters. Leonard Lopate and a local chefs, farmers and authors will dive into the world of plant diversity.

WNYC is a media sponsor of The Brooklyn Do Gooder Awards, recognizing those who show an outstanding sense of giving back locally - with their time, talent, or charity.

Leonard Lopate brings Elvis Costello and his six-piece band the Sugarcanes and Pete Thomas to The Greene Space at WNYC on the eve of his new record release, National Ransom.

Hear author/radical gardener, Fritz Haeg; urban farmer & founder of Growing Power Will Allen; Manhattan Borough President, Scott Stringer; and Eagle Street Rooftop Farms founder Annie Novak tell real-life stories about how urban gardens and farms are transforming the way we live.
