the project

A Small Green Patch is a Community Garden in Brooklyn, NY - We are located at 344-48 Bergen Street between 3rd Ave and 4th Ave. This Project is being set up to collect member fees and donations from the members friends, family and the community. The money gererated will help the garden buy and set up a number of needed tools and events for the community.

Needed:

  • New fence along back middle lot and the back right corner of the community lot
  • Musical events throughout the summer where we book musical acts and other workshops
  • Block party!!
  • Cable bridge to use when we have to get water from the across the street hydrant
  • New hoses because the old ones run over by cars have holes
  • Truck or Van rentals to pick up needed supplies
  • Random needs, soil, compost, river rocks, mulch, contaners, grow stations, wood and more!
  • Painting supplies for our young and old artists, easels, paints, brushes
  • Drawing supplies for visiting artists.
  • Paint
  • Tree pit gaurds
  • Seeds that we ordered to grow on the community side
     

the steps

  • Continue to work with the neighbors, community, city, friends, members and anyone that would like to participate in all of the events, workshops, activities, growing food and flowers. Supply the garden with much needed items to continue to thrive.
  • Plant seeds to grow together as a community
  • Invite musicians, artists and more to particpate in the garden
  • Help clean up the back middle lot and back right side of the garden and put up new fences for our neighbors
  • Set up a rain barrel system to harvest rain water and use the hose across the stree less
  • Buy canal bridge for our water hose to save it from getting holes when cars and the bus runs over it.
