Growing a Revolution: How Community Gardens are Changing Your Neighborhood!

To leave a legacy that helps the world, you need only go as far as your local empty lot! By bringing gardens back to the empty spaces in NYC’s neighborhoods, Hattie Carthan and Liz Christy started a movement that brought life to formerly desolate spaces, and their work is still flourishing all around the city’s residents today.

Can a garden change a whole city? The short answer: yes! By bringing together communities, gardens are changing your local concrete jungle in astounding new ways that can elevate us all. While it may not seem like a radical act at first glance, gardeners have been at the center of transforming cities into green oases that uplift communities for generations. People like these folks, who turned a surplus of abandoned lots in New York City into green spaces for their communities, are forever changing the city!
