| About us | In 2011, a group of dedicated volunteers took a derelict piece of land in Westchester and began a labor of love that gradually transformed it into a thriving, bountiful green space that brings a special sense of enjoyment to our entire community. Built and maintained 100% by volunteers, the Emerson Avenue Community Garden offers a sustainable, organic green space for growth and enrichment. From toddlers attending StoryTime/Music sessions, to seniors showing up for tours or our Pancake Breakfast, to scout troops using the garden for projects/activities, to families enjoying our movie nights, students at WISH & STEAM who get a chance to get out of the classroom and get their hands in the dirt; to university students helping at the garden for service hours, to the folks who take advantage of the multitude of classes & workshops offered, the garden’s reach is incredibly wide, and deep. |
