Community Garden Clean-up

About Facilitator

1100 Block Bergen Street Community Garden is a vibrant green space that has functioned as a neighborhood hub since 1980. The garden features individual garden plots, a large gazebo, colorful and diverse ornamental plantings, and flexible open space and seating for events and gatherings. Originally built on a combination of City-owned and private land, 1100 Block Bergen Street Community Garden was purchased by the Trust for Public Land and transferred to the garden group in 1989. In 2015, the garden deed was transferred to BQLT as a way to ensure that the space will remain a garden in perpetuity.

Objective

Help support the re-opening of our local community garden with a work day–clearing out debris, pruning overgrowth, light weeding, and repair.

You can Read more about the 1100 Bergen Street Community Garden in our interview with one of the co-founders, Hazel Hurley, in our bi-monthly gardening newsletter.
