Kenekeleba House Garden
![Community Garden: 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.

Overview
Kenkeleba House is an initiative that attempts to provide the surrounding community with not only a place of beauty or escape but an area for artists to display their works (specifically sculptures).
The initiative started in ‘79-’80 by current manager, Corrine Jennings. Jennings had been a resident in the neighborhood for decades and wanted to revive a small part of the community.
The garden’s initiative bleeds into the art and cultural community of Lower East Side. It has notoriety in the artistic community and it viewed as an essential contribute to cultural character of the area.
