5th Street Slope Children’s Garden
Founded in 1993
Originally, the Earth School used about half of the 5th Street garden space and community residents the other half. The garden became known as the 5th Street Slope Garden because it sloped from west to east. It has been leveled with the addition of organic material. The gardeners have a preliminary design, which calls for a performance stage, a picnic area, planting beds, pathways and grape arbor with a prominent childrens garden surrounded by benches and hardy plant material. The principals, teachers, staff and children from 3 nearby schools (PS 64,Tompkins Square Middle School and the Earth School) will be invited by the gardeners to plan school related programs in the garden, including science learning, theatre, cultural arts and informal education.

Creative Little Garden
Founded in 1978
This elegant shade garden first got its lease in 1978 from GreenThumb. Liz Christy, from GrowNYC, later selected it as a project site by providing design assistance, plants, and building materials. Long and narrow, it has a winding gravel path, rock garden, flagstone patio and many seating areas. Founding caretaker Francoise Cachelin fiercely defended Creative Little and other community gardens from development in 1999. The garden of this tireless community garden supporter became a permanent Parks site.
The garden was renovated by GrowNYC in 2004 with funding from the Greenacre Foundation. The front area was stabilized with a new flagstone entry and steps, a small arbor over a bench was added, and the pathway and patio were leveled and spruced up. Unfortunately Francoise did not live to see this. Her spirit and energy continue to inspire those of us who knew her. Creative Little Garden is a touchstone; showing how community effort can change the environment.

Generation X Cultural Garden
Founded in 1971
Created in 1971, this beloved Lower East Side space now includes Geoblock paving which allows for all-ability access to the garden and leads to a viewing area for multi-media performances.

Nectarine, pear, peach and apple trees form a mini urban orchard. All garden furniture and planters are made from recycled materials. Funding from the Disney Foundation allowed for cultural programming related to the Latino community throughout the summer of 2009. Events featuring Greenmarket farmers, Youthmarket displays, TAiNO arts and crafts, and healthy eating and tasting sessions with international foods saw more than 2,000 local school children from the neighborhood participate.

In 2012, the site sponsor, Northeast Brooklyn Housing Development Corporation (NEBHDCo), was awarded a NYS Department of Environmental Conservation Environmental Justice grant to renovate the garden after 15 years of use. NEBHDCo worked with community and corporate volunteers to prep and re-paint the iron fencing, demolish deteriorated stockade fencing and make repairs to the gazebo. A native plants landscape design firm removed poorly performing plants, pruned trees and remaining shrubs, and replanted the beds with native species, including chokeberry, butterfly weed, blue eyed grass and bluestar. NEBHDCo received pro bono support from a contractor to select and install a new vinyl fence at the rear and side perimeters. After redevelopment, Kosciuszko Garden is more beautiful than ever, providing a wonderful amenity to the neighborhood, as a site for quiet enjoyment, gardening workshops, youth activities and community events.

Long Island City Roots Community Garden
Founded in 2000
LIC Roots began as a small community gardening effort in 2000 when interested neighbors sought to make a positive change in the very industrial and post-industrial landscape of 47th Avenue. Noah Kaufman, the garden founder, and Terry Born, then principal of Robert F. Wagner, Jr. Secondary School for Arts and Technology, coordinated efforts to commemorate late Firefighter Michael E. Brennan, a native of Sunnyside, and a member of Engine 54 who lost his life responding to a mayday call at WTC 7 on Sept. 11, 2001.
With the support of the elected representatives and the members of Community Board 2, Queens, LIC Roots was encouraged to incorporate, and subsequently received a license for community beautification from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. LIC Roots was created directly over the tracks of the unused Degnon Terminal Railroad at 47-08 30th Street, and in building the garden, 140 cubic yards of garbage was bulldozed out and replaced by 160 cubic yards of clean dirt.
The garden itself is divided into four zones: from the east, there is a lawn area surrounded by flower beds at grade, and a memorial Flag Pole; passing through an arbor, there is a hard-surface patio, surrounded on the south by a raised bed and plank seating. This area was constructed by students of Queens International High School and the middle school at Robert F. Wagner. The raised bed contains native species and higher plants as a hedge.
In the westerly half of the garden there is a rainwater harvesting shade structure, which was built with the assistance of GrowNYC in 2008. The shade structure is 10′ x 20′ and the roof collects rain water into a 250 gallon raised cistern. From these ‘open’ areas, there is a plank fence and gate that leads to 6 raised vegetable beds. Four of these beds are tended by individuals. The other two were built by GrowNYC as part of our work in the garden related to our 2011 Greening Western Queens awards; these two beds are used by Robert F. Wagner students. LIC Roots maintains a lengthy waiting list for the their raised beds.

Moore Jackson Cemetery and Community Garden
Founded in 2018
Moore Jackson Cemetery and Community Garden is a vibrant 20,000 square foot open space in Woodside, Queens. Originally home to the Moore-Jackson family’s farmhouse, the space was landmarked in 1997 and is currently owned by the Queens Historical Society. A small family burial ground is accessible via the 54th Street entrance, while the large community garden entrance is on 51st Street.
A group of neighborhood residents began a revitalization effort in 2018, beginning the immense task of clearing knotweed and galvanizing community support. GrowNYC became involved in 2019, covering the site in mulch and building out garden beds, benches, picnic tables, and a steel shed. In any area of the city where there are few open spaces, Moore Jackson has become a hub of activity and goodwill.

Union Street Garden (Eastern Parkway Coalition Garden)
Founded in 1970
Situated on top of the Eastern Parkway Shuttle Station, this huge 20,000 square foot community garden, which is also known as Union Street Garden and Community Development, raises a substantial amount of produce for the community. Community gardeners suffered injustice when Transit Police took the garden for a parking lot and cut down several trees. Gardeners fought to get their garden back. Later, in the 90s, the MTA closed the garden to renovate the station.
After construction was completed, and with the assistance of GreenThumb, GrowNYC helped the gardeners rebuild an extensive array of raised beds, new wood fencing, pathways and plantings, a tool shed, brightly colored tables and benches and a shade tent. DEP architects designed a shade structure and plantings to hide the concrete roof of the station, and a permanent water system.

United We Stand / 138th Street Community Garden
Rebuilt in 2016
United We Stand Community Garden and 138th Street Community Garden are two adjacent spaces that together span from 137th Street to 138th Street in the South Bronx. The two gardens combine for one large 32,500 square foot space, playing host to 80+ raised beds, a stage, a gazebo, and a significant amount of seating.
The space was formerly four Green Thumb gardens: El Flamboyan, Sunflower Garden, St. Luke’s Park, and United We Stand. Following many years of successful use and a fire that damaged several shade structure, the entire space was razed, internal fences taken down, and completely rebuilt in 2016. More than 100 tons of debris and 60 tons of metal was removed from the garden, and 300 cubic yards of clean fill material provided by The Mayor’s Office of Environmental Remediation’s Clean Soil Bank program was added as a base for the site.
Members of United We Stand were featured in a 2017 New York Times article, and the fence along 138th Street plays host to a large public art piece entitled The Watcher.
