Maggie's 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
Maggie’s Garden was restored in 2002 from a lot overgrown with weeds and invasive plants and cracking asphalt. Now, the garden – funded by The Brownstone Family Foundation – has more than 30 members and continues to grow. The garden has installed a fast acting compost tumbler to expand the existing composting program and involve more community residents. Winner of Manhattan SWAB 2012 Composting Grant Award.
