Thank you councilmember @RLEspinal for recognizing the value of Elizabeth Street Garden & community gardens across #NYC. There are “truly vacant lots” that can provide real solutions instead of false choices. #SaveESG @NYCCGC @Mandela_Garden

In San Jose, where there was a study done on the impacts of gardens, culturally favorite foods were grown. A wider range of foods provides both a healthy diet and ecosystem, as well as an important cultural bond for communities. #greenspace #CommunityVoice #nationofimmigrants

[NYCCG-United We Grow @NYCCGC]

Growing our own food helps us save money on food. that way everyone can have access to sustainable whole food ingredients. It also allows access to a greater variety of fresh produce. #unitedwegrow #WednesdayMotivation #foodsecurity

[NYCCG-United We Grow @NYCCGC]

@HelenAvery123 That is the ongoing gardens rising project! We have started green infrastructure projects. #gardensrising #communityinvolvement

[NYCCG-United We Grow @NYCCGC]

Regarding community gardens as empty space open development, the city ignores how incredibly valuable the space is. NYC will face impacts from climate change, including flooding. Community gardens help suck in water during storms. Vacant lots do not. #ClimateCrisis #Community

[NYCCG-United We Grow @NYCCGC]

Community gardens help maintain access to fresh fruits and vegetables, and the produce that come from our hard working community members doesn’t come wrapped in ocean polluting plastic #plasticfree #plasticwar #foodsecurity #agriculture #wednesdaythoughts

[NYCCG-United We Grow @NYCCGC]

NYC has 100 acres of community garden space. Essentially providing the first line of defense against climate change.

By adding organic materials for urban agriculture to promote productivity, porosity and soil quality improved. This can increase infiltration and promote replenishment of groundwater aquí fuera #climatechange #GreenNewDeal #greenfuture #gardening #WednesdayWisdom

In city areas, soul loses almost all if it’s inherent physical and chemical abilities to filter, absorb and purify water. Meaning, a vacant lot doesn’t do much to help absorb water during an intense storm #themoreyouknow #protectgreenspace #greenspace #urbanag
