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.

More than 120 years after the American chestnut blight was first documented at the @thewcs Bronx Zoo, the trees are coming back. 🥲🌰
In 1904, the zoo’s Chief Forester Hermann Merkel was the first to document the chestnut blight that would ultimately kill nearly 4 billion American chestnut trees across North America and leave the species functionally extinct in the wild.
Before the blight arrived in North America, American Chestnuts were some of the most abundant and productive trees in the Eastern United States, quickly growing up to 100 feet tall on average and producing tons of nutrient-rich nuts every year. American chestnut trees were a critical part of forest ecosystems and a prized source of food and lumber. So, when the blight wiped out billions of them, we all suffered ❤️🩹
Today, as part of our #1000ChestnutChallenge, we’re thrilled to be planting hybrid, disease resistant American Chestnut trees at the site where the blight was first documented over a century ago. Their return is a powerful reminder of what conservation, science and restoration can make possible 🌱
To learn more about and support our work to bring the American Chestnut back to New York City, go to nyrp.org/chestnut 🌰

Swipe to see how we revamped this Bronx garden🪴🔄 🪴✨
In 2020, we built a garden at Frederick Douglass Academy School in The Bronx through our #GardensForTheCity program 🪴 This fall, we returned to the school to give it a refresh and add some new elements ✨
Over the course of two days, our crew:
1️⃣ Built four new raised garden beds and one new trellis filled them with soil
2️⃣ Filled all the garden beds with new soil
3️⃣ Built two benches and two picnic tables
4️⃣ Installed a new ornamental planting bed with 30 perennials and six shrubs
5️⃣ Built new accessible stone dust pathways
6️⃣ Pruned existing trees
It was a pleasure working with Frederick Douglass Academy School again, and we look forward to seeing how the garden will blossom with the stewardship of school staff and students 🦋

Every year for Día de los Muertos, Glover Street Garden creates such a special space for families to come together, honor their loved ones, and celebrate the traditions that keep their memories alive. I was so happy to stop by for day one of this year’s celebration!
From the beautiful ofrenda adorned with marigolds and candles to the artwork sharing the history and meaning behind this tradition, so much care goes into every detail. Thank you Edgar for the love you pour into Glover Street Garden and for continuing to make room for our neighbors to remember those who have passed and celebrate the lives they lived. ¡Que nunca se pierdan nuestras tradiciones!

For its annual Hulaween gala, @nyrp transformed The Glasshouse into Horror Reef: Monsters of the Deep. @bettemidler and @cyndilauper joined a sea of costumed New Yorkers for an evening of elaborate creations and unforgettable performances.
This year’s Hulaween raised more than $2 million in support of NYRP’s ongoing mission to restore and protect the city’s parks and public green spaces.

The 50 Cent Garden group was selected by the @nyrp Community Engagement team to receive the 2026 Environmental Activism & Story Teller Award at the 2026 Gardeners’ Gathering 🤯
Yesterday, the award was presented by @plantkween and received by 50 Cent Garden members. 2026 has been a whirlwind of ups and downs at our garden, but we have never wavered from our mission. At 50 Cent Garden, we are dedicated to connecting with community members in South East Jamaica, Queens through story telling, community events, and educational workshops. Our goal is to promote food and land sovereignty in our neighborhood, and encourage people to grow their own food.
This award acknowledges our efforts to foster environmental awareness through discussions on food justice, community building, compost advocacy, and sharing introductory gardening knowledge. Thank you @plantkween and the @nyrp Community Engagement Team for this award 🫂 We are looking forward to the 2027 season and what we will accomplish together!
