Green Oasis and Gilbert’s Sculpture Garden
![Gemeindegarten: Häufig auf öffentlichem oder vormals verlassenem Land gepflanzt. Gemeindegärten werden durch freiwillige Helfer, die Gemüse und Blumen anbauen, gepflegt, stärken hierbei die Beziehung zur Natur und Zueinander. Hierbei kann es sich um umzäunte und verschlossene Gärten handeln oder welche, die vor der Bebauung bedroht sind. Jedoch stehen sie im Allgemeinen für alle Beteiligten offen, erhöhen die Lebensqualität in der Gemeinde und verbessern zugleich die Luft- und Bodenqualität. Neben dem aktiven Lernen bieten sie ebenfalls Lebensraum für Vögel und Insekten. Gemeindegarten](https://www.opengreenmap.org/sites/default/files/taxonomy_image/category_pictures_77.gif)

Gilbert’s Sculpture Garden merged in the 1990s with its neighbor, Green Oasis to create a large, leafy inviting space with a gazebo, an apiary, fruit trees, a koi pond, a children’s play area and garden, plenty of room to barbecue and picnic, inviting pathways, and amazing beds of flowers and large trees. A well run and utilized garden that was made out of five empty lots full of broken cars and other debris, Green Oasis in many ways sets the pace in defining what a community garden can be in terms of bringing people together across economic, ethnic and religious divides. Green Oasis is also one of the most child-friendly gardens. It had one of the hardest struggles to survive since the local Community Board did not back its application to be spared from development even though it is proximate to a large housing project from the 1950s. Luckily for all, the plucky organizers of this garden which was founded in 1981 by Normand Valle (an ex-marine) and his friend Reynaldo Arenas prevailed with community support.
