WFWPI Launches Farmacy & Peace Garden in New York

With the hues of autumn, WFWPI launched the NY Farmacy and Peace Garden in partnership with the Foundation for Filipino Artists Inc. on October 17, 2026 at the residence of Global Woman Peace Ambassador Aida Bartolome, FFAI founder, in Woodside, Queens, New York.

Twenty leaders have bonded to actively promote urban gardening for regenerative and sustainable lifestyles during the launch.

WFWPI Vice President and UN Relations director Merly Barlaan remarked that the call to action in the US where there is manufactured food surplus, is to grow your own potted garden for fresh and organic herbs.
