STOP, DROP AND ROLL!

We have volunteer days every Saturday in the month of APRIL. So stop by and help between the hours of 10am – 3pm. Garden closes at 4pm.

Don’t spend your time asking “Why isn’t the world a better place?” It will only be time wasted. The question is “How can I make it better?”

- Tony Hillery

 

Who we are?

Harlem Grown is a non-profit organization that partners with the NYC Parks Department and Department of Education and a variety of food advocacy and community agriculture organizations.

 

What we do?

Our main function is to connect local public schools to the greater community through the use of common garden spaces and mutually engaging activities. We raise support for physical renovation of abandoned lots, providing the tools, supplies and manpower to physically transform wasted space into a vibrant garden classroom through a number of grant sponsored initiatives. We also work to engage pro-bono partners in developing a structured learning curriculum that lets kids participate from the planning through the planting, crop management and harvest and finally to food preparation, nutrition and even sales.
