Description:

A mobile, floating food forest, Swale will dock at several piers, beginning in Concrete Plant Park in the Bronx, and then stopping at piers throughout New York City’s harbor for less than one month at a time. During public hours, people may visit Swale and pick fresh raspberries, huckleberries, kales, beets, chard, arugula, leeks, artichokes, and other perennially grown food sources. For more information about programming, hours, and Swale’s current location please visit http://www.swaleny.org/.
