General Information
Welcome
The Greene Acres Community Garden is located on the corner of Franklin and Greene Avenues in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. The Garden has also been known as Frank Greene Garden, Franklin Avenue Community Center, Sunflower Garden for People, Revolutionary Garden Workers Collective, and, not long ago, the Empty Lot on the Corner.
The Pond at Greene Acres
Greene Acres gardeners dug our pond during the summer of 2004, with the help of the New York Restoration Project. The dry stream bed leading to the pond funnels excess runoff from the rainwater collection tank into the pond.
We working to create a self-contained ecosystem where all parts of the pond (fish, plants, snails, frogs, algae) have everything they need to survive. At this beginning stage it's all pretty delicate. If anyone sees someone feeding the fish or putting things into the pond, please ask them to stop. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to help, so get in touch with Masha, our "pond scientist" to find out more about what is going on with the pond.
