La Peral Community Garden
![Jardins partagés: Often planted on public or formerly abandoned land, community gardens are run by volunteers who cultivate vegetables or flowers and closer relationships to nature and one another. Generally open to all participants, they are sometimes fenced, locked or threatened by development. May offer hands-on learning and a habitat for birds and insects.

Vue d'ensemble
Welcome to a Creative Commons learning environment for community biodiversity based on La Perla Garden - an oasis of biodiversity at 105th Street and Columbus Avenue in New York's Upper West Side. Established in 1991, La Perla Garden is one of over 600 registered GreenThumb community gardens in New York City, and is affiliated with the Manhattan Land Trust.
At the heart of the learning process is Composting at La Perla Garden. Composting is a wonderful process through which garden waste, that can be combined with kitchen waste, is transformed by an assortment of microbes, insect and worms into humus that enriches the soil, encouraging healthy microbial action and increasing the soil's ability to retain moisture.
