La Familia Verde
![Jardim/Horta Comunitária: Normalmente plantados em áreas públicas ou abandonadas, os jardins e hortas comunitários são cuidados por voluntários que cultivam vegetais ou flores que possuem relações próximas com a natureza e entre eles. Geralmente abertos a todos os interessados, algumas vezes possuem cercas ou se encontram ameaçados pelo desenvolvimento urbano. Podem oferecer cursos práticos e ser um habitat para aves e insetos.

Visão geral
La Familia Verde is a coalition of community gardens in the Crotona, East Tremont, and West Farms neighborhoods in the Bronx. Formed in 1998, our mission is to sustain the environment and culture of our neighborhood through education, community service, and horticulture.
La Familia Verde is part of a community gardening tradition in New York City that dates back over 30 years, when city residents first began taking control of abandoned lots left by the economic and social devastation of the inner cities. Since that time, community gardens have played an important role in helping revitalize some of the city’s poorest neighborhoods. The gardens are not only pleasing to look at; they serve as educational, cultural, and social resource centers in traditionally underserved communities.
Today, La Familia Verde is comprised of more than five community-operated gardens and various community based organizations. The gardens and community organizations help foster community pride, partnership, and activism.
