Local officials and residents celebrated the renovations of the Lefferts Place Community Garden in Bedford-Stuyvesant to honor Earth Week, unveiling new features like a gazebo, seating, and updated plantings. Funded by a community impact fund, the $45,000 project reflects the ongoing dedication of residents since 1984 and highlights the importance of collaboration with local bodies like GreenThumb. The garden joins over 550 similar spaces supported by NYC Parks, showcasing community efforts to preserve and improve urban green spaces.
"Since 1984, the Lefferts Place Community Garden has been a labor of love for the residents of our block, who work every year to bring it to life."
"Collaborative efforts like these help to ensure the garden can continue to bloom and grow for years to come."
