The sun-kissed days have our concrete jungle’s greenery flourishing — and it’s time to bask in the natural beauty that surrounds us. In this blog post, we invite you to embark on a journey through the enchanting community gardens nestled within the bustling streets of the Lower East Side, where nature and community intertwine to create truly magical spaces. While our beloved Green Oasis lies just around the corner from the Girls Club, it is not our only hidden oasis. Let’s unlock the secrets of these urban sanctuaries that embody the spirit of togetherness and sustainable living – all year round.

Whether you seek solace, inspiration, or simply a breath of fresh air, these community gardens offer a sanctuary where you can immerse yourself in nature’s embrace and reconnect with the earth. So, grab your sunhat and gardening gloves, and join us as we share information on the hours and locations of the lush landscapes of the Lower East Side’s community gardens.
