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.
Welcome to our community garden! We are so pleased to have you join us in our efforts to promote environmental sustainability and create a space where people can come together to enjoy nature and learn more about gardening. We look forward to seeing you around the garden and encourage you to participate in our workshops, events, and activities. Please let us know if you have any questions or need assistance. Thank you for being part of our community!
