Phoenix Community Garden
Our mission is to promote a unified community consisting of youth and adults alike through education, advocacy and fostering of healthy living, food justice and nutrition in an open and safe green space.
The Phoenix Garden in Brooklyn is 1/2 acre of green goodness in the Ocean Hill/Brownsville section of Brooklyn. Phoenix gardeners have changed a formerly vacant lot into a pastoral space where community members come together to make their garden grow. The garden is open to all members of the community. The Garden grows nearly 2,000 pounds of beans, corn, collards, bitter melon, tomatoes, zucchini, herbs and callaloo to feed the neighborhood. The Garden provides fresh food, green space, and community to folks in Ocean Hill-Brownsville.
