El Coqui Garden, named after the iconic Coqui tree frog of Puerto Rico, is a vibrant community space located in Humboldt Park, Chicago. Established in 1998 and protected by NeighborSpace since 2002, this garden transforms a once-troubled vacant lot into an intergenerational oasis with colorful beds of flowers and vegetables.

The garden serves as a learning lab for local students at Von Humboldt Elementary School, where children engage with history by growing vegetables from various cultures. With an emphasis on community involvement, El Coqui Garden hosts picnics and potlucks, creating a welcoming atmosphere for people of all ages to come together.
