		<description><![CDATA[A secret garden lurks in Bushwick while city legislators introduce a bill to make community gardens an integral part of the city's supply of fresh fruit and vegetables.  The Secret Garden - its actual name - which is part of the Linden-Bushwick Community Garden, is one of hundreds of community gardens in Brooklyn that has the potential to nourish its community both nutritionally and mentally. The FRESH Zoning amendment, if passed, would make it easier for the fruits and vegetables grown in these gardens to travel from soil to plate.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cinema loves Brooklyn. In classic films like <em>Dog Day Afternoon</em>, <em>Do the Right Thing</em>, and <em>Saturday Night Fever</em>, Hollywood takes us to the bumper cars at Coney Island, through the Bed-Stuy of the 1980s, and across the Brooklyn Bridge. But in Brooklynite Nora Ephron’s <em>Julie &#038; Julia</em>, our borough is present only through its absence—as the beloved home that one of our protagonists wishes she weren’t leaving. Here, Brooklyn represents comfort and familiarity, rather than the brand new adventure that it does for so many of the young people who are now settling into it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At a new exhibit at the Williamsburg Music Center, The Urban Individualists, an art collective, wear their hearts on their sleeve.  The show, entitled Hard Hearts, examines the diverse way in which the theme was interpreted in 28 different works.  “Everything stems from a root - the tree stems from a root, the plant stems from a root - you have to get to the root of the person in order to get to the heart,” said Mia Roman Hernandez, a Brooklyn-born collective member.  Featuring guitar players, bassists, painters, poets, mixed media artists, photographers, saxophone players, sculptors, and vocalists, the Urban Individualists are an eclectic and entertaining bunch. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lee  Mandell is devoted to growing produce that tastes good in his loft farm in Bushwick.  Named Boswyck Farms after the neighborhood's former moniker, Mr. Mandell's agricultural mission extends well beyond his attention to the palate. He is a hydroponic farmer, sustaining his plants by using systems of circulating water, rather than soil, to disperse nutrients to their roots.  Could this be the future of urban life? ]]></description>
