Green Keepers

Green Keepers is a five-part educational series offering instruction to New Orleanians on green infrastructure works.  Parkway Partners intends to collaborate with graduates to develop community-based green infrastructure projects around the city. Topics include introduction to green infrastructure; vertical gardens & rooftop gardens; small-scale water catchment; large-scale water catchment; bioswales & rain gardens; plants for green infrastructure; green infrastructure at urban farms & community gardens; and concrete & permeability. Free and open to all.  Learn more!  Series topics and schedule.

All Things Local is hosted and produced by Kevin Fitzwilliam, science teacher and co-founder of Hollygrove Market & Farm.  The show focuses on the local economy, our natural resources, green/sustainable living and urban design, and the unique culture of New Orleans and Southeast Louisiana. We explore issues that make a difference in our everyday lives: neighborhood shopping and local artisans, farmers’ markets and the local food system, transportation, outdoor adventures, festivals, and more. We interview the people who are “making it happen” to give practical information and advice to our listeners. Tune in every Saturday morning and follow us on facebook and twitter – you’ll be glad you did!
