Fall Garlic and Bulb Distributions
Prepare your garden for a successful spring with Green Guerillas’ Annual Fall Garlic & Bulb Distribution. Each year, we provide community gardeners with garlic and spring-flowering bulbs to plant before winter, helping create vibrant gardens, healthier harvests, and beautiful blooms when the growing season returns. Planting in the fall gives bulbs time to establish strong roots, resulting in healthier plants while also supporting pollinators and increasing biodiversity in community gardens across New York City.
This year’s distribution will take place on:
October 10 | 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Harlem Valley Garden (Manhattan)
October 17 | 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Betty’s Community Garden (Brooklyn)
The distribution is an opportunity for community gardeners to gather supplies, connect with fellow gardeners, and prepare their spaces for the seasons ahead. Registration is now open, so be sure to register for the distribution date that works best for you.
