Community gardens are volunteer-run green spaces where people can come together around growing food and community. Gardens across the city are seeking new members to plant produce and flowers, host events, maintain community spaces, and contribute extra hands for garden projects! Beginners and experienced gardeners are welcome!
NYC Parks GreenThumb supports over 550 community gardens and 20,000 gardeners by providing gardening space, materials and supplies, and technical assistance at no cost. GreenThumb hosts innovative gardening workshops, trainings and conferences.
**Harlem Grown 134th Street Farm requests that participants who enter their garden are vaccinated or have recently receive a negative COVID-19 test result. If not possible, GreenThumb will direct participants to an alternate garden location.
