Herb Garden
![Community Garden: Often planted on public or formerly abandoned land, community gardens are run by volunteers who cultivate vegetables or flowers and closer relationships to nature and one another. Generally open to all participants, they are sometimes fenced, locked or threatened by development. May offer hands-on learning and a habitat for birds and insects.

Overview
The Herb Garden is located between two apartment buildings and provides a community gathering sport for the neighborhood. NY Restoration Project resotred he garden in 2006 with help from Linda Allard and her husband Herbet Gallen. They funded the garden’s renovation and endowment and Allard provided the original design for the site. The Garden installed a compost bin outside the garden to encourage community composting – with “do’s” and “don'ts” composting signs in Spanish and English. Winner of Manhattan SWAB 2012 Composting Grant Award.
