Serving community gardeners in New York City since 1973.
Community gardening is a radical act.
Green Guerillas uses a unique mix of education, organizing and advocacy to help people cultivate community gardens, sustain grassroots groups, grow food, engage youth, and address issues critical to the future of food justice and urban agriculture.
Our work
Our work centers around our belief that all New Yorkers should have easy access to open, green spaces where community members can gather, grow their own food, connect with nature, organize on essential community issues, relax, play, and celebrate.
Will you join us?
Many community gardeners are vital members of a larger movement towards food sovereignty, and have been working vigorously for the right to healthy, fresh, culturally relevant food; the right to green space and community land ownership; and the right to health.
We uphold these values.
We stand with New Yorkers gardening in community gardens, on their blocks, on their stoops, in empty and unused spaces.
Gardening for their families, for their neighbors. To produce food, to create beauty, to heal the soil.
