We blanket the five boroughs with resources like textile and food scrap collection, Stop 'N' Swaps, and free training to make waste reduction easy for all.
We build and rejuvenate community and school gardens in all 5 boroughs, and support even more gardens through volunteer days, technical assistance, school garden grants, and more.
We foster future environmental stewards by providing 30,000 children each year with programs that provide meaningful interactions with the natural environment.
The New York Times recently profiled several Bronx community gardeners as part of an article about immigrant gardeners and their influence on the increasing number of community gardens being built across the City.
The Bronx gardeners profiled are all from United We Stand Community Garden, a garden GrowNYC rebuilt in 2016.
