The Swale House on Governors Island is an extension of the floating food forest and foodways on public land. The Swale House gives space to art, science, and environmental justice projects working toward public food, public water, and healthy soil. We partner with the NYC Urban Soils Institute to run a residency and exhibition program from House 11 in Nolan Park on Governors Island. Swale House is managed by Sarah Olson and curated by Kim Darling.
