A clover field grows in Brooklyn: John Street Pasture opens to the public on Saturday
Here’s something you don’t see in Brooklyn everyday — a clover field.
John Street Pasture, located at 1 John Street in DUMBO, will open to the public this Saturday, but a group of reporters got a chance to preview the temporary park along with Regina Myer, president of the Brooklyn Bridge Park, and Andrea Reynosa, the artist/farmer responsible for creating the installation, on Tuesday morning.
The park is currently covered in magnificent green clovers and will bloom crimson flowers over the upcoming weeks. It’s a temporary design meant to celebrate green space, agriculture and the transitional nature of urban land. It will eventually be taken down toward the end of July to make room for construction of a 42-unit condo building.
