Volunteer Workday: Brooklyn’s Finest Garden

GreenThumb community gardens are developed, led, and cared for by dedicated volunteer gardeners who critically upkeep them as public green spaces.

Brooklyn’s Finest Garden is a small food-producing garden located between two residential buildings in Clinton Hill. Established in 1991 by local community advocates, this garden remains a vital public space for the neighborhood. Redesigned in 2017, this garden features a small seating area, individual raised beds, and communal herb beds.

During this workday, volunteers will work alongside gardeners and GreenThumb staff to assist in landscape planting, mulching, and general clean up.

Location:
Brooklyn’s Finest Garden
48 Lefferts Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238

Gloves and tools will be provided. Bring water, snacks, and clothes and shoes/boots you don’t mind getting dirty.

To sign up a group of 5 or more volunteers please reach out to greenthumbinfo@parks.nyc.gov.
