I dropped by the Battery Park Conservancy to pick up this beautiful batch of Sehsapsing Lenape blue corn. In the summer of 2014 the Queens County Farmhouse grew the the corn and seeds from that garden were then given to the Battery Urban Farm last year. They grew some last summer and shared some of the seeds I gave them with a grower in Maryland. Now they’ve returned some seeds to me and I’ll be sending them along to an interested grower in Colorado.
This project started in 2010 with the Maize Field public art installations/gardens in Brooklyn.
