    Small yet lovely. Beautiful tulips! We need more of this kind of community garden. Free walk in - plenty of seats for people to sit down and enjoy watching the flowers.

    This is a sanctuary of flowers and greenery on the UWS. My parents and I have been going here forever. Beautiful flowers, great for the neighborhood, provides educational opportunities for local schools and more. Lots of events like music and arts and crafts fairs in this wonderful setting. You can visit for free, but this place deserves your paid membership.

    Just remarkable and amazing place to take brake from the beat of the city. Garden is well attended and their are those who plant have good things for their diet. Highly recommended for all to promote this type of activity in all parts of the city teach next generations to do the same become care takers of this precious planet. I do appreciate seeing such fine effort, do the same things am grateful able plant and enjoy dishes too..

    We saw a wonderful concert with Sam Reider and Jorge Glem at this community garden and always enjoy just walking through it. My favorite season is the March Tulip season but there is always something in bloom. Great place to bring coffee and a bagel and just relax too.

    The Park Was Small But Gorgeous.The shapes, sizes , colors and characteristics of the flowers were beautiful. Its a well kept clean park but on weekends very crowded. I went with my mom and she loved it she said she wanted to take the flowers home lol. We enjoyed the park itself very much but there was one rude nosey gentlemen there taking pictures of the flowers who kinda messed up the visit for us but other than that it was a wonderdul experience.

    This is the cutest garden. I almost missed it. I was visiting my uncle who lives across the street and noticed the pops of color and the flowers just took my breath away. They were arranged so prettily. They have a couple of seating areas to just take it all in. This particular day was special and their was a horticulturist giving planting tips and educating groups on the various flowers featured in the garden this season. I wished I lived in the area, I’d volunteer my time to help keep it beautiful.

    Nice community garden. Great in the summer but appears to be open year round which is awesome:). 87th St Community Garden for eg is only open from May to October :/. There are lovely wooden chairs and tables available. There’s a children’s playground right next door called St Gregory’s Playground.

    Lovely hidden gem of UWS. Thanks for all the work put into it. Tulips were wonderful.

    Spending the week house sitting with our Grandson. We wait here every afternoon before we pick him up from school. What a quaint beautiful garden. It's amazing that the garden is managed by volunteers. They must really love their toil in the soil, it shows. Always great to visit. Make sure you donate to keep this slice of nature for generations to come.

    I've been here a few times, a small beautiful cultivation in the neighborhood. I'm writing this review in particular after attending a concert that took place. These concerts occur regularly in the summer on Sunday nights, a great way to end the weekend right before walking to a nearby restaurant for dinner and a drink.
