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.

What's in season right now?
Every market is unique and offers farms and producers with different specialities. The items shown here are what’s in season in our region; your market’s offerings may be different!
Spring, Summer Strawberries
Strawberries are bright red, heart-shaped berries studded in tiny yellow seeds and topped with a cap of green leaves. They're juicy and fragrant and range from tart to exceptionally sweet and candy-like.
Spring Sugar Snap Pea
Sugar snap peas have bright green, plump pods with thick, crunchy walls filled with miniature green peas. They're sweet, juicy, and have that telltale snap to them when you bite in- just remove the fibrous stem and enjoy!
Spring Tulips
Tulips are the quintessential spring flower! Grown from bulbs, tulips have cup-shaped blooms that come in a wide range of colors from deliate pinks to fiery reds and oranges to white and even black.
Spring Ramps
Ramps, or wild leeks, have broad, green leaves stemming out from a white bulb that fattens up as the weather gets warmer. They have pungent, garlicky flavor that mellows when cooked.
Spring Rhubarb
Rhubarb is a vibrant, celery-like stalk that range from light green to a deep, ruby red pink. Their flavor is exceptionally tart and sour. Careful of the leaves as they're toxic!
Spring Morel
A rare, wild mushroom that can only be foraged a few weeks out of the year, morels have a distinctive cone-shaped, honeycomb-like cap with a hollow stem. They have a meaty texture and a savory, woodsy, and nutty flavor prized by chefs.
Spring, Summer, Fall Curly Kale
Curly kale is perhaps the most common kale variety. A member of the brassica family, it's a hearty green with deeply ruffled leaves and peppery, somewhat bitter flavor that sweetens in the colder months.
Spring, Fall Breakfast Radish
Breakfast radishes have slender, oblong pink roots with a white tip. They have a mild, peppery flavor with a tender, crisp crunch. You can eat the greens, too!
Spring, Fall Broccoli Rabe
Broccoli rabe, also known as rapini, is an Italian leafy green with edible stems and small, broccoli-like buds. Typically quite bitter, in the spring, overwintered broccoli rabe is extra sweet and hearty.
Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, Year Round Carrots
Crunchy, colorful, and sweet, carrots are a root vegetable that can be found at Greenmarket year-round. In the warmer months, find them freshly harvested by the bunch along with their greens. In colder times, they're kept in cold storage and sold by the pound.
Spring Asparagus
Asparagus are slender spear-like stalks with tightly closed, pointed tips. Their color is typically light green though you can find dark purple and even white asparagus, too! They have a grassy, slightly sweet flavor.
Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter Beet – Red
Beets are edible roots with dusty purple skin and vibrant, crimson flesh that will dye everything, from fingers to cutting boards, red. Their flavor is earthy, mineraly, and sweet (especially when roasted).
