This is a remarkable community garden where solar powered electricity catches the sun and powers the waterfall, tools and lighting for the shed.
This community garden is maintained by local residents in association with GreenThumb, a branch of NYC Parks Department that supports converting vacant lots into beautiful community gardens.
6BC is open noon-6 on weekends, and has an event schedule online.
