Hart to Hart Community Garden is a completely volunteer run green space in the heart of Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. In 1973 the City foreclosed on the three lots at 104-108 Hart St and promptly abandoned it. It was co-opted by neighbors in 1995 who worked tirelessly to clear out decades of junk and toxic materials and built it into what you see today. It is a GreenThumb garden which means it's under the umbrella of this program/NYC Parks Dept and is a public space. This provides the garden with such things as access to supplies, grants, administrative support and protection from real estate developers.

We aim to provide the neighborhood with a slice of nature in a bustling landscape. We firmly believe that our existence fosters community building and an opportunity to teach future generations how to be kind to ourselves, each other and the planet.
