About Us
Launched in 2017, Garden Train is the D15 School Gardens Consortium, which supports 25 school gardens in the Brooklyn neighborhoods of Gowanus, Boerum Hill, Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, Fort Greene, Kensington, Park Slope, Sunset Park, Red Hook, and Windsor Terrace. Garden Train is the first districtwide school gardens consortium in New York City.  The volunteer-led network, connects school garden leaders with each other and with community partners and businesses, and provides workshops and access to local resources and education. Garden Train believes that every school should have a garden, which fosters social emotional growth in our students and supports many important subjects, including science, healthy eating and wellness, environmental stewardship and art. Garden Train is free resource that helps our public schools thrive and gives the community an opportunity to be a part of our schools' success. In 2019, Garden Train supported the launch of Garden Train D13, also in Brooklyn, and Garden Train D3 (Upper West Side). Our goal is to help each of the 32 school districts start their own Garden Train stations.
