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.
Greene Acres is open to the public Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 5 PM through the Spring, weather permitting (Summer hours will be in the cooler evenings). All are welcome to stop by during open hours to work, to sit under the Paulownia tree, or to chat. Donations of plants, tools, and snacks are welcomed.
We have an active compost program, and you are welcome to bring donations by when the garden is open. We are an organic garden, though we are still learning how to do that well. To becoeme a composting member of the garden, which entitles you to a key, contact the compost coordinator.
