Green Thumb
Overview
SPECTRUM: Top-Down
SERVICE IDEA: Community Gardens
CATEGORY: Green Spaces, Socializing
DESCRIPTION: GreenThumb was started as a citywide agency under Ed Koch in 1978 under
severe economic conditions and abandonment of lots. Don't know who had
the idea, but the why is that there were people in these communities who
were reclaiming the abandoned land for use as a garden/green
space/cleaned up and safer & beautified area.”
