The Liz Christy Garden, established in 1974, is the first community garden in New York City, located at the northeast corner of Bowery and Houston Streets in Manhattan. Founded by Liz Christy and the Green Guerillas, the garden has transformed a once-abandoned lot into a vibrant oasis featuring a diverse array of plants, including vegetables, herbs, and flowering perennials.
Today, the garden serves as a community hub, offering a space for relaxation, gardening education, and environmental stewardship. With its rich history and commitment to preserving urban green spaces, the Liz Christy Garden continues to thrive as a beloved resource for local residents and visitors alike.
