Evergreen Community Garden | Colden Street, Flushing | 1983–[9] | In 1983, a group of Korean immigrants leased a 5.1-acre space in Kissena Park and established the garden. It was intended for recreational purposes and growth of vegetables and flowers, though for-profit farming was prohibited.[9][10] Ownership of the garden was transferred from the Korean American Senior Center to the Parks Department in 2012,[10] though this sparked a years-long dispute.[11][12] | ||
Smiling Hogshead Ranch | Skillman Ave, Long Island City | 2011–[13] | The Smiling Hogshead Ranch was originally a guerrilla garden on a freight spur of the abandoned Montauk Cutoff.[13] In 2013, its founders obtained permission from the MTA to operate on the abandoned right-of-way.[14] |
