I am teaching a workshop at the Figment Arts Festival (6/11-13) on Governor’s Island on how to upcycle a shoebox into a posh house for a common garden snail. I am an urban nature educator and have a web show called Wild Gotham that focuses on everyday wildlife in NYC. If you have excess snails, I would love to come get them at your convenience or you could drop off at my house in Park Slope. Snails will be displayed at Figment and afterward released into my backyard where, along with all the others, they will devour my plants. Thank you in advance.- Fran

Thank you everyone who has posted offering snails. I am so grateful. My email is f underscore pado at yahoo, if you would like to email me re:snails. I can come pick them up or meet you somewhere at your convenience. I am in Park Slope, near Flatbush, will travel for snails.
The workshop I am doing will be part of the Figment Arts Festival on Governor’s Island June 11-13. The site is http://www.figmentproject.org . There will be hundreds of participatory activities, music, dance….all FREE! Even better, nothing is for sale. Nothing to buy.
I have a few sneaking around back there, send me an email and I’ll grab some for you after the next rain. bunker labs at gmail
Hi Fran, Please post details for your workshop! I think a lot of us might be interested! I’ll check my yard for snails!
I have quite a few in my front yard in park slope.
I had an incredible number of snails in my garden last summer but have not noticed as many this spring. Can you send your e mail? I’ll check this week and if I see any I’ll round them up for you!
I need them live, man! Ha!
Jolie on Atlantic Ave has a very tasty escargot appetizer. Sorry, couldn’t resist.
They also have $1.00 oysters there on Wednesday nights. I’ll be there tomorrow.
