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.

This garden is under the jurisdiction of NYC Parks and supported by GreenThumb, the nation’s largest urban gardening program. If you are interested in joining, starting, or supporting a community garden, contact NYC Parks GreenThumb.

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.

Parque de Tranquilidad

The garden also received extensive plantings donated by Chelsea Garden Center. The results are winding stone-dust paths and numerous seating opportunities. The garden displays lace-cap hydrangeas, antique roses, Rose of Sharon, daylilies, etc. Transferred to the Manhattan Land Trust by TPL, which provided the garden with a permanent water supply.

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.

Kosciusko Garden/Learning Center

Founded in 1998

The Kosciuszko Community Park / Learning Center is a large ornamental park/garden. This 2500 square foot garden features a 30′ diameter brick circular seating area, a mural by local artist Nafissa Camara, two lawns, and a 16′ diameter gazebo located in the back of the garden. There are tables for playing games and picnicking. The front of the garden is graced by a wrought iron fence donated by Battery Park City.  Original plantings included white rose, spirea, oak leaf hydrangea, and butterfly bush.  The tree plantings, now mature, include oaks, birch, sweet gum, Japanese maple, ornamental crabapple, and evergreens.

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.

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.

The Dorothy McGowan Memorial Garden provides a quiet place to garden and relax in Washington Heights. Dorothy was a dedicated activist with Community League of the Heights who convinced the Trust for Public Land and GrowNYC to provide technical and material support. Her guiding hand created a renewed space with vegetable beds, ornamental plants, bluestone pathways, an arbor, and flagstone patio interlaid with bricks. Local residents also built wood tables and benches.

Children from local schools come for Easter egg hunts and other activities. Originally called the League Garden; Dorothy lived to see the completion of this open space that now bears her name.

This garden is under the jurisdiction of NYC Parks and supported by GreenThumb, the nation’s largest urban gardening program. If you are interested in joining, starting, or supporting a community garden, contact NYC Parks GreenThumb.

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.

All People’s Garden

This garden was created in 1978 by former VISTA volunteer Olean For in an effort to unite her block against heavy drug trafficking in her neighborhood. Olean turned around the lives of many youth with her Boys and Girls club.

All People’s Garden was GrowNYC’s first Plant-A-Lot (PAL) site to open in 1979 with Liz Christy and Mayor Ed Koch planting a ceremonial rose bush to grow over the garden gate. GrowNYC completed a major garden renovation in 2003, restoring the stage-seating area, open plaza, bbq patio, tool shed, and pathways with new brick pavers. A new mural and gazebo were also added.

This small triangular lot is framed by ornamental plantings around the perimeter, and a dynamic mural depicting community injustice. The site incorporates a brick patio with tables and benches, a gazebo, childrens playhouse and waterplay table on a rubber safety surface. The open areas are tied together by a lawn. Arboleda de Los Niños is their reality.

Step 2: Learn how to use SNAP benefits at markets

  1. When you arrive, visit the market information tent and look for the market staff. They will be wearing a GrowNYC t-shirt or hat.
  2. Once you are there, swipe your SNAP EBT card and enter your pin to buy as many $1 or $5 tokens as you’d like. For every $2 you spend in SNAP, you receive a bonus $2 Health Buck to spend on fruits and vegetables, up to $10 per day. Please read the Health Buck section to learn more about this currency.
  3. The wooden tokens and Health Bucks will act like cash at the market. Use them to shop directly with farmers or at the GrowNYC Farmstand.

How to Health Bucks work?

Health Bucks are $2 coupons that can be used to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables at all NYC farmers markets and farm stands.

For every $2 spent at farmers markets and farm stands using SNAP on an EBT card, you can get $2 in Health Bucks, up to $10 per day. Health Bucks are available year-round at NYC farmers markets and farm stands that accept EBT.

Health Bucks can be used like cash at GrowNYC Greenmarkets and Farmstands. Health Bucks expire December 31st of each calendar year, please make sure to use them before then.

Health Bucks are created by the NYC Department of Health.

What can you do with leftover tokens and Health Bucks?

  • Tokens don’t have an expiration date! Keep unused tokens and use them the next time you shop at Greenmarket. Unused tokens may also be credited back onto your EBT card. 
  • Health Bucks expire December 31st of each calendar year, please make sure to use them before then.
