Blessings sweet peas! Radical radishes! Homey tomatoes!

Since the growing season has extended and NYC’s needs way more gardens, we are deep at work and play on many green projects for community garden/urban farm creation and preservation.

Please note that the More Gardens! Fund is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, and your donations are tax-deductible according to the law. Your donation will help with these most needed green projects: We are working with amazing allies and you to preserve the last of about 18 community gardens citywide.

“Adventure Summer Camp for kids in the South Bronx” We are working towards our fifth year of the Animal Adventure Summer Camp. Rise Up & Respect the Bronx is a free day camp for youth ages 8-12 in the South Bronx. Youth play and volunteer in Bronx community gardens and begin to learn about relationships within their communities, the environment, and with themselves. Our adventures last year took us on a composting adventure at the New York Botanical Garden, canoeing on the Bronx River, identifying butterflies at the Bronx Zoo, on a train adventure to an organic farm in Wassaic, and so much more.

“Building Coalitions!“ We are working towards a fith city-wide community garden forum with community garden coalitions and other greening groups. We are working on a large Lower East Side garden parade in celebration of the diversity of the preserved gardens and those that need to be made permanent. We need your support to keep these great projects running.
