Our garden is
located on West 48th Street in Manhattan between 9th
and 10th avenues. The garden was created in 1977 by
Hell’s Kitchen residents who cleared out the rubble
from a long-vacant lot and began planting it with
flowers, herbs, fruits, and vegetables. The garden is
organized into two main sections: the Front Garden and
the Back Garden. The Front Garden is open to the
public, keyholders as well as visitors who may ask to
be let in if the gate is closed. When visiting the
garden, please respect our rules, posted over the
trash bins by the front gate and here under Rules
& Bylaws. It’s important to remember that the
garden is not a playground; we love animals, but dogs
and cats (and similar pets) are not allowed; and
courteous behavior is expected. For gatherings
of 10 or more, permission from the Steering Committee
is required. Click on our events policy below
for more information. Please be kind to the garden and
the environment by taking your trash with you and
properly recycling newspapers, bottles, cans,
plastics, and aluminum at your home or office.
The Clinton Community Garden, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization managed by a steering committee composed of gardeners elected at our annual membership meeting held the first Tuesday in March at the Fountain House on West 47th Street at 7:30 p.m. The garden is licensed by the New York City Parks Department through GreenThumb and is open to keyholders from morning to dusk 365 days a year. All gardening and maintenance is done by volunteers. If you would like to make a tax-deductible donation in support of this garden, please send your check to: Clinton Community Garden, P.O. Box 214, New York, NY 10108-0214.
