About the Garden:

Hill St Community Garden is a NYC Green Thumb garden located at 50 Hill St in the Stapleton neighborhood of Staten Island. It is the hub of the neighborhood providing not only a beautiful greenspace for plants, herbs, vegetables, trees, and flowers but environmental, economic, and social benefits for its diverse community. Individual gardeners and other community organizations collaborate on many projects including the newest – a greenhouse in the garden!

This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.

Private support is provided by City Parks Foundation and Partnerships for Parks through the NYC Green Fund.
