LaGuardia Corner Gardens

 
 

LaGuardia Corner Gardens is an award-winning community garden in the heart of NYC’s Greenwich Village.  It is a place of natural beauty, where the visitor can find an oasis of calm in urban surroundings.  During the growing season visitors can enjoy a dazzling display of daffodils, tulips, irises, peonies, roses, and other perennials, as well as shrubs and fruit trees. 


The garden was created in 1981 by volunteers on a strip of barren land.  Members maintain and support it.  LCG is registered with GreenThumb and is a designated Backyard Wildlife Habitat and Monarch Waystation, with plants selected to attract birds and butterflies. 


In the spring members conduct programs for local school-children.  Garden events include seasonal celebrations, events for children, and a variety of musical offerings. 


LCG is proud to be among the LaGuardia Gardens and the Time Landscape in forming the “ribbon of green,” a flow of green spaces along the east side of LaGuardia Place, from West 3d to Houston Street.
