Nestled in the heart of Fort Greene, Brooklyn, the Greene Garden is a vibrant, member-run community space rooted in wellness, education, and environmental stewardship.
As part of the Brooklyn Queens Land Trust, we nurture a green oasis where neighbors gather for events and build deeper connections with one another and the land. From youth programming and wellness classes to seasonal celebrations and volunteer days, the Greene Garden is where community grows.
