The More Gardens! Coalition is a group of community people, gardeners, and
environmental and social justice activists who promote the development and
preservation of community gardens as well as the cultivation of fallow land in
New York City. We share information about community gardens with the public in order to raise awareness and engage people in both actual gardening and political activism.
More Gardens! is currently involved in three main projects: running the Rise Up and Respect the Bronx Summer Camp, a free environmental camp lead by local community gardeners and youth, for 8-12 years olds in their neighborhood; supporting La Finca del Sur, a women-of-color run urban farmer cooperative in the South Bronx; and supporting Harlem United Gardens (HUG), Harlem community gardeners, in making endangered community gardens permanent.
