Since 2012, New Roots Community Farm Bronx has flourished as an urban oasis. The ½-acre lot is home to native plants, pollinators, traditional crops from around the world, fruit trees, communal garden beds, and a bountiful harvest. The multi-use educational and production farm provides a safe space to grow food and share traditions.
The New Roots Gardens Queens was activated for the 2020 season, resulting in vibrant community engagement centered around growing food and education. Both garden plots are about 2,500 sq. ft. and located in a large Southeast Asian community in Woodside, Queens. Many community members are involved in the garden and continue to amplify their work around engagement, growing food, and education. They are working on a new green initiative towards food security such as food box shares.
