East New York is blessed with 57 NYC Parks/ GreenThumb gardens, one of the largest such concentrations in New York City. This walking tour will visit a cluster of six that are all within blocks of each other. You will learn a bit of history and how the gardens are being used today by the garden group.

We will begin at Big Red Community Garden followed by CAUSA Festival , the Hendrix Street Garden, Nehemiah Ten, and New Visions. We will finish the tour at UCC Youth Garden. Tour participants will receive a free $2 coupon for use at the Saturday farmers market.

This tour is co-sponsored by NYC Councilman Charles Barron and the East New York Community Land Trust. For more information, contact Bill Pape at 646-477-2038 or [email protected].
