Project Evergreen at Phoenix Community Garden Volunteer Workday

The Phoenix Community Garden in Brooklyn is 1/2 acre of green goodness in the Ocean Hill/Brownsville section of Brooklyn. Phoenix gardeners have changed a formerly vacant lot into a pastoral space where community members come together to make their garden grow. The garden is open to all members of the community. The garden grows nearly 2,000 pounds of beans, corn, collards, bitter melon, tomatoes, zucchini, herbs and callaloo to feed the neighborhood. The garden provides fresh food, green space, and community to folks in Ocean Hill-Brownsville. Project EverGreen’s GreenCare for Communities initiative transforms public green spaces, making communities healthier and more sustainable. Please join this volunteer day to help create paths, plant plants, spread mulch, pull weeds, and otherwise beautify the garden. Space is limited! Register here to join us!
