Overview:
Started in 1986, La Finca Garden is located on a narrow lot on a commercial street in Bushwick. The garden has brightly painted wooden fences and gazebos, a large decorative planting area in the front, and raised beds for vegetables in the back. A permanent barbeque pit for roasting whole pigs, which are shared with neighbors during summer celebrations, was built by gardeners. As the cost of living in Bushwick increases, this space remains a critical community space for neighbors to gather and socialize.
Special Features:
- Gazebos
- Raised planting beds
- Barbeque pit for pig roasts
