Deemed a SuperFund by the EPA, the Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn, New York is one of America’s environmental disasters. It’s pretty much a cavity, all smelly and ugly since the Industrial Revolution. Recently there have been efforts by the Gowanus Canal Conservancy, and other groups to beautify the Canal by planting flora that decrease the environmental damage. Not only are they fixing up the physical surface, but also the image of the canal and its surrounding neighborhoods. I’d like to interview the horticultural manager Diana Gruberg on whether or not there has been noticeable progress, and their plans for the future as they are looking to add two new members to the staff.
