There
is a lot to do in Kensington, Brooklyn and new activities coming up all the time. Here we look at a couple of events that are
slightly outside the box that locals can enjoy.
The
first one is a plant class. In a recent article by Rebecca Fishbein on ‘The
10 best spots for plant classes in NYC,’ Kensington’s “Twig Terrariums”
was ranked in second place. Set up by
good friends Michelle Inciarrano and Katy Maslow, the open studio and store
offers a whole range of terrariums, DIY kits, pots and plants and unusual gifts.
While there you can also learn how to set up your own plant and terrarium
collection. All materials are provided
for the workshops and one can also choose a romantic date night option
there.
The
second is a venture set up back in 2014 by Eleanor Rodgers who, at the time
hosted informal LEGO classes for her son and some friends at home. But after a while it developed into one of
New York City’s really cool after-school programs. The program since then has joined up with the
Wingspan Afterschool Program at PS130 and is now called the Rodgers’ Kensington
LEGO Class. Featuring a STEM experience
for little LEGO builders from Kindergarten to third grade. From third to fifth grade, kids can make
their own LEGO movie through this venture too.
