Dear NYC Grows Nonprofit Partners,

National Gardening Association has appreciated your willingness to share with the people of New York City, all the benefits of plant-based outdoor actives. Your participation in NYC Grows Garden Festival is what made it such a unique and successful event. Unfortunately, hard times have hit many of our sponsors and NGA does not have the same resources it had in years past to hold the kind of superior public venue that the public has come to expect. It is therefore, with deep regret that I must inform you that the 2009 NYC Grows Garden Festival is being suspended. We look toward 2010, even now, as we meet with potential new presenting partners and anchor sponsors. For those of you who already paid your 2009 non-profit exhibitor fee, we will process your refunds next week. We are looking forward to working with all of in 2010!
