Volunteer Workday: Fantasy Garden

Join Fantasy Garden and NYC Parks GreenThumb for a volunteer day cleaning up the garden, rebuilding raised beds (no power tools needed), and planting native flowers! We'll provide all the tools, training, and guidance to ensure a productive and safe volunteer day. Please wear sturdy work shoes and weather-appropriate clothing and bring water and snacks. Note some tasks will involve lifting heavy materials and extended periods of bending, squatting, and moving.Register here!Fantasy Garden has been a public green space in the Brownsville for nearly three decades, providing the community with access to free programming, volunteer opportunities, and a connection to nature.
