I’ve seen this community garden lately; it looks really unkept, overgrown. What’s going on here?
Get in touch with Liz about lending a hand and beautifying the garden.
Her contact info is: sharpbuckley@gmail.com
I would love to get involved! What is the best way to get in touch?

Thanks!

Hi Jenna, which garden were you interested in joining–Pacific, Carlton or Rockwell?
Hi, I’m looking to join a local community garden. I live in the Fort Greene community. Can someone let me know where these gardens are and how I might join? Thank you!
We walk by the “garden” all of the time. The pictures on this page do not resemble the reality at all. The area is not at all maintained and not user friendly.
As we are all volunteers and give our time and energies without material recompense, we try to do the best we can. We hope that you will become a volunteer and be a part of the work that goes into making a public green space viable for the community.
Hello…
I just moved to Clinton Hill and would like to volunteer/perhaps get a plot in one of the Bear’s gardens – is there space? If not, can I volunteer?
Hi Brittany–
Thanks for your interest in the garden! We always need volunteers.
Please go ahead and get in touch with the coordinator for whichever garden you are interested in:
Carlton Avenue community garden: Liz – sharpbuckley@gmail.com
Pacific Street community garden: Jon – joncrow@earthlink.net
Rockwell Place community garden: Ryan – rockwellbears@gmail.com
Thank you! I tried emailing Liz but it was kicked back and said the address “failed permanently.” Does she have an alternate?
Yes she has a new address–I’ll update it on the blog now. Sorry about that!
Hi,
I am a member of a NYRP garden. I so want to grow lovage in our herbal box. I tasted it a few years ago. If you could let me know if and when you have any seeds or starter plants. Thank you.
me too, anyone ever reply to these p[osters I wonder?
Yes we do!–but we usually reply off-group for privacy’s sake…
Thanks for your interest in the garden and we’ll send you a message directing you to the right people!
🙂
I am also interested in getting involved with the Carlton garden. Please let me know how to do so!
Thanks!
