Orchard Alley
![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.

![Native Forests/Plants: Flora that is indigenous in the region, sometimes called old growth, heirloom or indigenous species. Native species requires less water and care than exotic imports, and usually attract more birds, bees and butterflies, and help the cycle of life stay in balance. May include a master gardener, permaculturalist or horticulturalist or information center.

Overview
In English and German (German see below / Deutsch siehe unten)
Orchard Alley is further down East 4th Street block on the south side, close to Avenue D and city housing projects. As one of the last gardens created in an extremely large lot, there was not a lot of initial optimism that it would survive the onslaught of the city’s bulldozers. Much to the delighted surprise of all those who labored to remove rocks and then create the garden, it not only has survived but has flourished as one of the premier horticultural gardens in the neighborhood replete with fruit trees, flowers such as alliums and tiger lilies, herbs, and winding paths. Its lot is large enough to reach East 3rd Street, but the entrance is only through East 4th.
____________German (Deutsch)___________
Orchard Alley befindet sich weitere südlich an der East 4th Street, nahe der Avenue D und den Stadtwohnprojekten. Als einer der letzten Gärten gegründet, in einem extrem länglichen Flurstück, war man wenig optimistisch den Angriff der städtischen Bulldozer zu überleben. Ganz zur freudigen Überraschung von all denjenigen, die sich angestrengt haben, die Felsen zu entfernen und dann den Garten zu bauen, überlebte dieser nicht nur, sondern wurde zu einem prämierten Garten der Nachbarschaft. Zahlreiche Wege schlängeln sich in ihm und er ist übersät mit Obstbäumen und Blumen wie z. B. Bärlauch, Feuerlilien und Gewürzen. Das Grundstück ist groß genug um bis zur East 3rd Street zu reichen, jedoch befindet sich nur ein Eingang auf der East 4th.
