![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
After spending a number of years as a neglected and weed filled lot, the Claremont Garden was turned into a working vegetable growing 'farm' by the neighborhood residents. Currently, there are approximately a dozen families (with a total 30 individual members) who use the garden. The garden is used for community events such as picnics, BBQ, workshops and block parties. Last year NYRP installed a rainwater collection system, shed and reconstructed the garden beds.
