A Peaceful Bit of Earth
This garden in Manhattan, although tiny, is a beautiful haven amidst the surrounding concrete jungle of New York City. A sanctuary of green in the summer, this third-of-an-acre garden is completely volunteer run. Located in Greenwich village, it is a wonderful place to come and sit in silence on one of the many shady benches.
Events take place regularly in Jefferson Market Garden, and include a flower festival, birdfeeder making workshop for kids, children's storytime and live music for all ages. Located next to historic Jefferson Market Public Library, this Manhattan garden is open afternoons Tuesday through Sunday from May to October.
