Visit one of Brooklyn’s greenest blocks on the northern tip of Canarsie. 🏡
Third-place finishers in the Greenest Block in Brooklyn’s residential category this year, the gardening group Canarsie Carailles have a truly infectious positive energy. Through careful communication with their community and a genuine passion for greening, they’ve encouraged neighbors to create a fantastic array of stoop and patio gardens, as well as tended to dozens of container plantings along East 92nd Street between Avenue A & Church Avenue.
Thanks to neighbors Patricia, Catherine, Tony, Elaine, Clara, Michelle, Khalil, Ethlyn, Octavia, Muriel, and Omar for showing us around.
Want to gather your neighbors and enter your block in Brooklyn’s friendliest competition? The Greenest Block in Brooklyn contest is free and open to all residential blocks, commercial blocks, and community gardens in Brooklyn.
The deadline for the 2026 contest has passed, but it’s never too early to begin planning your block’s participation. Learn how to enter at our link in bio.

Happy Halloween! Did you know BBG is a haven for bats? 🦇
In a recent study by @urbanbatsnyc, Brooklyn Botanic Garden had the highest bat activity of the NYC greenspaces surveyed. BBG hosts all four common species in significant numbers.
”The garden’s abundant fresh water, open forest, and attachment to larger Prospect Park are all features that make it a bat oasis in the urban landscape of central Brooklyn,” writes Urban Bat Project NYC founder and principal ecologist Nic Comparato.
The first photo shows a silver-haired bat Urban Bat Project NYC rescued in Prospect Park last year. The second photo shows an eastern red bat roosting in BBG’s Discovery Garden.

Want to join a community garden, but don’t know where to start? 🤔
NYC has a bevy of community gardens across the five boroughs, with many overseen by @greenthumbnyc (a subset of @nycparks), and others supported by smaller conservancies like @nyrp.
Community gardens can help reduce the urban heat island effect, absorb stormwater runoff, nurture vital pockets of biodiversity, cultivate community, and so much more. Yet despite all these benefits, perhaps you’re hesitant to join one.
In this video, BBG’s Karen Wylie met up with NYRP’s director of community engagement DK Kinard (@dknewyorker) at @cooperstreetgarden to talk top tips on how to get involved with a community garden. Thanks to Cooper Street Garden volunteers @bleavitt8 , @merofero, and Mr. Sammy (@sammyc.davis) for hosting us and adding their thoughts.
Find more resources for community gardens and urban greening on our website at bbg.org/community or our link in bio, as well as NYRP’s website. You can find GreenThumb’s “Find a Garden Tool” at nycgovparks.org/greenthumb/community-gardens.
