Whilst on holiday a couple of years ago after visiting the nearby Cathedral I was walking past this little garden and stopped to watch the nesting birds flitting back and forth which I was missing from my own garden in the U.K. I was holding on to the railings peering in longingly and one of the local residents within made eye contact and just said Come on in, I can still hear his invite in my head, he took time out to explain all about the creation of the garden, himself and the residents who tend to it and invited me to stay as long as I liked. I spent a lovely hour sitting in the morning sunshine in this little oasis watching the locals tending to the plot and the resident birds. I will always remember him and the garden and will make a point of visiting the garden again on my next visit.

The name of this garden is the West 111th Street Peoples Garden. Its history is an important narrative on community organizing to protect neighborhood homes.

Beautiful garden that always has someone in it(usually just on lunch break). Theres 2 entrances and a bit of seating inside. In the warmer months it looks so vibrant from all the plants growing inside.

This is the West 111th Street People’s Garden, a Green Thumb Community Garden first established by community activists in the 1970s and maintained by community volunteers.
