Originally built in 1993, rebuilt in 2017
Jackson Forest Community Garden is a 9,000 square foot space originally built in 1993. After decades of consistent use, construction on the adjacent street and sidewalk caused the entire garden to be demolished and closed for 4 years.
GrowNYC rebuilt the space in 2017, building raised beds, picnic tables, garden benches, and installing ornamental plantings throughout.
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.
