GrowNYC's New Garden Fund

GrowNYC is thrilled to announce that we are building our 100th garden!  

GrowNYC's Gardens Program, originally founded by Liz Christy, has been building and supporting community gardens, urban farms, and other open space projects in New York City since 1975.  It takes a village: over the years, we've worked with many great community-based organizations, neighborhood leaders, city agencies, non-profit partners, and, most of all, resident gardeners.  

To help us celebrate this milestone, you can contribute below to GrowNYC's New Garden Fund.  

Your donation will help us build our 101st garden, our 102nd, and on and on – giving all New Yorkers the chance to grow food, enjoy the fresh air, connect with their neighbors, and empower their community to create and manage a space in their own image.

You can help ensure that all New Yorkers have access to green space by making a donation today.

 

Due to air quality conditions, all GrowNYC outdoor programming sites will be closed Thursday, June 8th and Friday, June 9th.
