Volunteer Workday: Clifton Place Memorial Garden & Park

GreenThumb community gardens are developed, led, and cared for by dedicated volunteers who critically upkeep community gardens as public green spaces.

Since the 1970's, Clifton Place Memorial Garden & Park has been a staple in the Bed-Stuy community, providing its members and neighbors with bounties of food, a safe space to gather, and expansive gardening knowledge. During this volunteer day, participants will engage in meaningful, hands-on projects, such as building raised beds and planting a floral landscape. This is a great opportunity for those interested in getting involved with a community garden! Bring water, snacks, and comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing. Please note that some activities may involve lifting heavy material and moving, bending, and squatting for long periods.

Sign up here!

Groups of 10 or more can sign up by contacting the volunteer coordinator at Kyleen.Sanchez@parks.nyc.gov.
