LaGuardia Corner Gardens

GreenThumb garden.
Overview: LaGuardia Corner Gardens is an award-winning community garden in the heart of NYC’s Greenwich Village. It is a place of natural beauty, where the visitor can find an oasis of calm in urban surroundings. During the growing season visitors can enjoy a dazzling display of daffodils, tulips, irises, peonies, roses, and other perennials, as well as shrubs and fruit trees.

The garden was created in 1981 by volunteers on a strip of barren land. It is maintained and supported by volunteer members. LCG is registered with NYC’s GreenThumb and is a designated Backyard Wildlife Habitat and Monarch Way Station. The garden has trees, shrubs, and perennials that attract birds, butterflies, and bees. In the spring, members conduct programs for local school-children. Garden events include seasonal celebrations, events for children, and a variety of musical offerings.
