Saint Nicholas Miracle Garden

live, learn & grow together.

We are a reactivated community garden in Central Harlem. The garden's compact size and dense urban context allow us to promote vertical urban gardening and test innovative techniques to maximize space and resources.

Our Mission

The garden promotes environmental awareness and serves as a growing educational resource and community gardening space. In addition, it addresses food insecurity by providing food access programming and workshops on healthy eating and sustainable lifestyles.
