Community gardens are safe, inclusive, and welcoming public spaces. While gardens are open to the public during the garden season, over a hundred community gardens will open their gates to the public for a special weekend full of free activities and exploration, including environmental education workshops, garden tours, cultural programs, arts and crafts, music performances, and so much more!
Open Garden NYC is a great way to explore your neighborhood community garden, meet garden group members, and learn how to get involved.
Schedule subject to change.
