Overview:
In 1980, neighbors began organizing to turn this small corner lot in East New York into a thriving community farm. Today, the garden boasts harvests of fresh vegetables, fruits, and flowers. Many of the elders who care for the space have lived in the neighborhood since they were children. Children from local school PS 242 pay visits to the garden to help with cleanup and to learn about planting vegetables and fruits.
Special Features:
- Metal raised beds
- Gazebo
