"FROM A JUNKYARD INTO AN OASIS"

The East 4th Street Community Garden "was established in 1979 when it was transformed from a junkyard into an oasis," says Brooklyn Today's article "Is Brooklyn the new garden state?" The garden is a place not only for gardeners but also for community gatherings, the Kensington/Windsor Community Supported Agriculture (CSA), live jazz and other music events, poetry readings, book readings by authors, workshops for children, and other community-oriented happenings.

The Community Garden is at 171 E. 4th Street, between Caton Avenue and Fort Hamilton Parkway. Take a look at the garden's calendar to see what's coming up. Click on "Click Here to View Calendar."
