Bainbridge Garden

La Finca Garden
Brooklyn Queens Land Trust member garden - 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.

Merrick-Marsden Neighbors Association Garden
Brooklyn Queens Land Trust member garden - Merrick-Marsden Neighbors Association Garden was developed by a local development corporation as a community beautification project in 1980. The garden is a large site with raised beds for vegetables, and also has many flowers and mature fruit trees. This garden is located across the street from an early childhood development center.

The People's Garden
Brooklyn Queens Land Trust member garden - This garden started as the Green Avenue Block Association Garden, but was later renamed the People’s Garden. Known for its salsa dance parties and many other community events, the space has become a beloved gathering place created for and by the community.

Ralph-Lincoln Service Center Garden
Brooklyn Queens Land Trust member garden - The Ralph-Lincoln Service Center Garden was founded in 1984 by Robert Matthews and a group of community residents who were concerned about the blight in the then drug-infested northeastern part of Crown Heights. There were crack houses, open drug dealing on street corners, dilapidated and abandoned buildings, and trash cans overflowing with rubbish. Robert contacted the 77th Precinct Community Affairs Unit and solicited their involvement in cleaning up the area. The then head of the Community Affairs Unit, Sgt. Bullion, assigned P.O. Robert Manvella. Officer Manvella worked extremely hard along with community residents to keep the lot clean and to remove drug dealers from its corners. It was not an easy task, but with the help of the Community Board and the 77th Precinct, the community was gradually able to decrease the drug activity taking place near the lot. A gazebo was erected in the garden with the assistance of Officer Manvella, and grass and flowers were planted. In 2002, the garden began operating as an independent nonprofit organization, with the assistance of the Trust for Public Land, and was then transferred to BQLT. At that time, the garden received a new fence, the sidewalk was repaired, and a watering system was installed.

Serenity Community Garden
Brooklyn Queens Land Trust member garden - Formerly known as Sunny Triangle Garden, this lot had fallen into disrepair when it was transferred to BQLT in 2017, thanks to the generous donation of a community member. The garden is currently being transformed into a welcoming green space with raised beds for gardening and a gazebo for social gatherings.

Sheffield Garden
Brooklyn Queens Land Trust member garden - In 1990, members of the Sheffield South Block Association came together to turn this small corner lot in East New York into a thriving community farm. Over the years, Sheffield Garden has hosted countless weekend barbeques and holiday festivals, had regular visits from the children attending a nearby day care center, and witnessed countless dominoes and checker matches between local senior citizens.

St. John's Pl. Renaissance Garden
Brooklyn Queens Land Trust member garden. - St. John’s Place Renaissance Garden is primarily used for children’s programming and as a playground and ecology learning center for a nearby daycare center.

United Herkimer Garden Club
Brooklyn Queens Land Trust member garden - The United Herkimer Garden Club was established in 1981. Since then, the garden has served as a place to grow vegetables, pick peaches and blackberries, and hold summer barbecues. The garden has also served as a quiet refuge for community members to relax and work on homework.

Woodbine Street Block Assoc. Garden
Brooklyn Queens Land Trust member garden - Woodbine Street Block Association Garden was founded in 1979 by neighbors adamant about maintaining civility in a time of upheaval. Following the New York City blackout of 1977, the city left their block torn apart and streets virtually impassable for nearly three years. Neighbors had to fight for streetlights and for trees to be planted. Built on the ashes of two homes that were burned to the ground, the garden was quickly filled with beds of strawberries, collard greens, and peppers. The current crop of gardeners wish to thank the Block Association and garden elders for the opportunity to restore this garden to its former glory and to let it serve as a beautiful beacon of hope for the neighborhood.

Taqwa Community Farm
GreenThumb garden - When Abu Talib helped start the Taqwa Community Farm in 1992 on 164th St. and Nelson Ave, in the Highbridge section of the Bronx, people thought he was crazy. It was a dumping ground for old appliances, tires and abandoned cars. It was a warzone when Abu, his son Bobby Watson and a handful of community members took on the challenge. Today Taqwa yields about 10,000 pounds of food annually and a colony of bees and a dozen chickens call the farm home. “Just get a few chickens and you can feed yourself,” says Abu. After two decades of hard work, fruiting pear, apple and cherry trees are found with collard greens, lettuce, onions and bushes of strawberries, blueberries and raspberries. To look at Taqwa Community Farm today, you couldn’t imagine what it was 20 years ago.

Edgemere Farm
In the wake of 2012’s Hurricane Sandy, Edgemere Farm’s founders transformed an abandoned city-owned, half-acre lot on Beach 45th Street into a lush and productive space, where a wide variety of fresh and organically-grown vegetables, flowers, and herbs are now cultivated. Chickens, bees, and many varieties of pollinators call the farm home as well. Supported by NYC Parks / GreenThumb, GrowNYC, and Partnerships For Parks, the farm is a volunteer-run, zero-profit organization with a mission of education, food justice, and increasing capacity for both the production of food and the processing of food waste on the Rockaway Peninsula.

Evergreen Community Garden

LIC Roots Community Garden//FF Brennan Memorial
GreenThumb garden - This garden was created from a 3,500 square foot pile of refuse on the southerly side of 47th Avenue between 29th and 30th Streets, in part to address the woeful shortage of community open space in the vicinity of the Dutch Kills (canal) Basin in Long Island City. Our public-private open space is an oasis among the factories and former factories of the Dagnon Terminal area. The LIC Roots Community Garden is the only sitting area for more than a quarter-mile in any direction. There is no public playground for more than one-half mile in any direction. Our garden is a host to many different species of animals, not just humans. Our three-fold mission is: To green our community, to maintain the memorial to FF. Mike Brennan and the other victims of the attacks of 9/11, and to support efforts to establish more, safe, and clean parks for the people of our western Queens neighborhood.

Today we host community events such as music, art, and gardening workshops. The current site has grown to half an acre of gorgeous flowerbeds, and vegetable gardens. Meandering pathways crisscross the park, follow them to the koi and turtle pond, fig arbor, or one of many quiet nooks that offer a cool quiet spot to read a book, have a chat with a friend, enjoy a cup of coffee, or just sit and enjoy a respite from The City.

Brisas Del Caribe
GreenThumb garden - The Brises del Caribe Garden is a 90 x 24 plot of land located at 237 East 3rd Street on Manhattan's Lower East Side. In 1986, this land was an abandoned city owned lot inhabited by rats and strewn with refuse. The garden was born thanks to the efforts of Mary and Angel Aponte, a neighborhood couple, who cleared out the garbage. Green Guerrillas gave a lot of assistance to the Apontes in the beginning. In addition, they received many letters and petitions of support from the community board, the Church and other local community groups. Today, the Brises del Caribe Garden is a beautiful spot covered with trees and various plants such as tomatoes, roses, and morning glories. Many birds make their homes there, and the garden also features a pool with goldfish. The members, most of whom are Hispanic people from the immediate neighborhood, have invested a great deal of time, effort and love into the garden. Angel Aponte personally built and maintains the two wooden cabanas where people gather when the weather is cool and rainy. The garden is the center of social life for its members. Many cultural and educational programs take place here, such as family reunions, parties and other informal get-togethers. Neighborhood children visit with their school classes; attendees from the Nuyorican Poets Cafe located across the street frequently stop by late into the evening.

Campos Community Garden
GreenThumb garden - Campos is a sunny 5,000-square-foot community garden located on East Village, Manhattan. Started in 1982, it enjoyed years of productivity until the main organizer moved away, at which point the garden felled into disrepair and neglect, no longer open to the public. Revived in 2004 by concerned neighbors, the growing of herbs, fruits and vegetables is possible thanks to the garden unique spot under the sun. This urban food initiative is shared with our diversified community: at Campos, you may hear us speak English, Spanish, French, Bengali and Italian while we work the ground. A dedicated space for children was added in 2006 and rebuilt in 2013, after hurricane Sandy’s destruction. The children’s garden currently hosts science and art projects for school age children. Campos hopes to become a catalyst for neighborhood development by encouraging interactions which embody the very essence of our community : inclusive, unifying, and stimulating.

GreenThumb garden - Located at 530 East Sixth Street, between Avenues A & B, the Creative Little Garden has been an oasis of tranquility in New York's East Village since 1978. It's a "community backyard," maintained by volunteers from the surrounding neighborhood. There are no plots tended by individual gardeners, instead members collaborate on the landscaping of the whole park. Everyone, not only members, can relax, read, have lunch, work on your laptop or just enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of our garden.

El Sol Brillante Garden
GreenThumb garden - The mission of El Sol Brillante is to nurture an inclusive garden in New York's East Village by offering community and educational programs, tenancy of garden plots, and communal gardening. We promote nature and ecology amidst the city pavement. El Sol Brillante Community Garden rose from the ashes of a demolished lot of four burnt-out buildings in the East Village of Manhattan in 1977. Residents organized to create a garden that would revitalize the neighborhood, unite local leadership, and improve the quality of their environment. Today, East 12th Street is a remarkable green corridor with four community gardens, six public schools and a park. El Sol Brillante is one of its crown jewels and with new membership (including the children and grandchildren of its original founders), a robust bokashi composting education center with classes/demonstrations for the local schools, and continuous capital improvements funded through two community festivals held annually in June and October, El Sol Brillante will continue to be a vital asset to this historical neighborhood.

Harlem Rose Garden
GreenThumb garden - What was once a community garden many years ago had become overgrown and a veritable eyesore on the block. When Carolyn Schaefer moved to E 129th Street, she grew tired of looking out onto an empty, derelict lot. She seized the opportunity to reclaim it for everyone to enjoy and preserve it for the community. She started holding meetings with neighbors in 2002 and they worked tirelessly with the NYC Parks Dept, GreenThumb & Green Gorillas so that it would not fall in the hands of developers. Phil Gaetano made her vision come true by donating his expertise as a landscaper, his labor and materials. All the plants, trees, and flowers you see in the garden have been planted since 2003, except for 4 trees along the west fence. Carolyn passed away in July of 2015, but she left us a gift that we now are entrusted to carry forward for her. A memorial was held in the garden the following summer at which time the garden was renamed in her memory.

LaGuardia Corner Gardens
GreenThumb garden. Overview: LaGuardia Corner Gardens is an award-winning community garden in the heart of NYC’s Greenwich Village. It is a place of natural beauty, where the visitor can find an oasis of calm in urban surroundings. During the growing season visitors can enjoy a dazzling display of daffodils, tulips, irises, peonies, roses, and other perennials, as well as shrubs and fruit trees. The garden was created in 1981 by volunteers on a strip of barren land. It is maintained and supported by volunteer members. LCG is registered with NYC’s GreenThumb and is a designated Backyard Wildlife Habitat and Monarch Way Station. The garden has trees, shrubs, and perennials that attract birds, butterflies, and bees. In the spring, members conduct programs for local school-children. Garden events include seasonal celebrations, events for children, and a variety of musical offerings.

Le Petit Versailles Garden
GreenThumb garden - This 20‘ by 60′ garden with entrances on both Houston Street and Second Street was created by Peter Cramer and Jack Waters on the site of a former "chop shop.” It is appropriate that a stage dominates the garden because the gardeners are committed to providing a space for performers, filmmakers, and visual artists to show their work. A narrow brick path slopes down from the Houston Street entrance and splits to circle the low wooden platform that serves as a stage. Narrow beds filled with shrubs, perennials. vines, and annuals border the walls of the adjacent buildings. The path continues under a vine-draped arch, through an arbor covered seating area, to the gate on Second Street. Le Petit Versailles is a project of Allied Productions, a not-for- profit arts organization, and has an active performance and exhibit schedule during the summer months.

Lydia's Magic Garden
GreenThumb garden - Lydia’s Magic Garden is a community garden established in 1991 by Lydia Roman. Tired of seeing her community with empty lots of garbage, Roman decided to make a difference by creating beautiful gardens. Since the Mid 80’s Lydia has created three lovely gardens that have enhanced the El Barrio community. Lydia’s gardens produced organic cabbage, tomatoes, fresh mint, peppers and eggplant, in the summer. Roses, lilies, sunflowers and many other plant life grew plentifully, adding color to the neighborhood. The casitas gave members of the community a place to relax and enjoy the lovely view. Kids from local schools visit Lydia’s garden to learn about planting flowers and vegetables.

M'finda Kalunga Community Garden
GreenThumb garden - The M’Finda Kalunga Community Garden began in 1982 as a group organizing to rid the Sara Roosevelt Park area of drugs and crime and to protect low-income housing and services in the neighborhood. This beautiful garden–almost a city block long–was born of that effort. Nearly thirty years later, some of the original organizers continue to garden at M’Finda Kalunga, along with many new friends, families and volunteers. Garden members tend allocated plots and common areas, and periodically do garden-wide seasonal maintenance. There is a children’s area with a sandbox, a Bocce court and a patio area for events and gatherings. Tables and benches are dotted throughout the garden, where people can sit and picnic during open hours.

The garden consists of a few private beds for old time residents and 750 square feet of communal growing space cultivated and cared for by members and volunteers. We also have compost bins for food scrap drop offs and process hundreds of pounds of food scraps each month. During the growing season we offer an affordable CSA program that includes freshly harvested produce and local eggs sourced from Grow NYC. Over the years our space has been utilized by educators and organizers like NYC’s Green Guerillas youth internship program and the Free Black Woman’s Library, and our gates are open daily for the community to enjoy.

The farm has become a community gathering space and a classroom to teach neighborhood youth about food growing and community service.

Prospect Farm is a non-profit, cooperative project in Windsor Terrace, Brooklyn that is working together to grow food in a formerly vacant lot, owned by Tom Angotti and Emma Matos, with the mission toward creating a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Farm that can serve our community. Since March 2010 Prospect Farm has been a community project development toward producing healthy local food as an alternative to industrial food. Our objective is diversity in food production and membership. We are slowly creating healthy soil through our community composting project and farm without chemical fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides. Prospect Farm is a community association with membership open to all. Members improve and farm the land and sustain ties with local residents, businesses and organizations. We support the Brooklyn Food Coalition and other initiatives for food sovereignty and food justice.

Kelly Street Garden
The core mission of the Kelly St. garden is to provide healthy food to local residents free of charge. Sharing healthy food with an impacted, vulnerable community is easier said than done. It requires an educational component. It is a process of informing the community by introducing new options. The most receptive to these options are often young people. It is not only about education, but about creating a space where the stressors of the community can be left at the door, and light cast on the healing components of food, culture, and the opportunity to improve mind and body. At the center of KSG is the essential idea of creating a green, healing space that not only encourages wellness through the participation in the growing food, but also understanding how putting our hands in the soil brings a sense of calm and release from the daily stresses of modern life. We encourage our gardeners and residents to take on projects of their own that correspond to the work of the garden with minimal supervision..

Q Gardens Community Farm
Brooklyn Queens Land Trust affiliate garden - Q Gardens opened in early 2015 after 2.5 years of organizing efforts by the local community. The garden is located on Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) property. The requirements for signing a lease with MTA were difficult for a community group to meet, so Q Gardens joined BQLT as its first affiliate (leased) garden. It has since become a vibrant community green space with an active community composting program.

Central Bainbridge St. Community Garden
Brooklyn Queens Land Trust member garden - Once a debris-ridden lot littered with the remains of two demolished buildings, eight women volunteers from the neighborhood block association began clearing the land in 1978 to create Central Bainbridge Community Garden. The garden now boasts vibrant green vegetable plots, a gazebo, and shaded seating area where local residents gather for cookouts and other social events. The garden also regularly hosts visits from students from P.S. 40.

Classon Ful-Gate Block Association Garden
Brooklyn Queens Land Trust member garden - Back in 1968, a young man name Joe Robinson took on the task of transforming a debris-filled lot into a vegetable garden. Together with Willie Ford and Leroy and Gloria Fashion, he worked tirelessly to create a beautiful space that the community has cherished for half a century. The garden became a member of Green Thumb in 1978 and the Classon Ful-Gate Block Association was formed the following year. In 1983, the garden was protected by the Land Trust Group and, in 1999, the garden was further protected by the Trust for Public Land. A large mural on the garden’s back wall pays homage to past and present residents of the block. A memorial garden featuring newly planted trees with the names of senior garden members and those who have passed on was built to remember those who worked so hard to bring this garden to life.
