Community gardens decorate New York City's urban landscape

Each year, millions in New York City are drawn to Central Park's manicured lawns or to the High Line's creative design, but it's the smaller, lesser-known community-run gardens that may show the city's true personality. There are more community gardens in the Big Apple than anywhere else in the country, and as Christina Ruffini found out, they're as diverse as the people who run them.
Each weekday morning, "CBS This Morning" co-hosts Gayle King, Anthony Mason and Tony Dokoupil deliver two hours of original reporting, breaking news and top-level newsmaker interviews in an engaging and informative format that challenges the norm in network morning news programs.

I grow on my balcony and terrace, in my apartment. Wind is my nemesis. And I also have a community garden 20 minutes from Amsterdam. It's awesome, but I know I am extremely lucky. I wish more people could eat and grow their own food and cut flowers.

We need to redesign our cities to have less roads for cars and more parks, and roads for bikes only.

Message to all. I see lots of people talking about community gardens for general hospitals to help with mental health. But what about having some community gardens for mental health hospitals. Mental health facilities patients could greatly benefit from having a garden at their facilities as well. And it would give them more fun and healthy extracurricular activities instead of just blank colorless walls, tv, music and books. If we are talking about creating community gardens to benefit mental health, then Mental health institutes should definitely be included in the quest for health and healing. They should not be abandoned. Plants for everyone, everywhere!! Anyone out there ready for this challenge?

You're telling me.. I'm getting addicted. Various family and extended family has always grown something and I never though about it. It was until there were contained Romaine lettuce scare for 3 months in a row that I decided that I'm going to start growing my salads supplies. Now its becoming a real problem. I've got 20 cucumber plants, 24 corn plant, & a lot more other things while eyeing fruit trees. LOL. The pandemic hit and I was trying to limit trips to the store by growing some more vegetables and now I'm growing more to give to family and friends. Also, I'm feeding all the birds in a 2 mile radius with my strawberries. They are unrelenting.

Fascinating, beautiful oases in the city! ... So sadly, in the 1970's, ..... throughout the entire City, many of these gardens were razed, to develop apts, and buildings! .... There was a very beautiful garden space, right off Riverdale Ave, in the King, Riverdale section .... that grew spectacular plants, vegetables, and flowers! It was much more than a respite from the City grit, .... just minutes away! It was a very special, neighborhood refuge! It was a serious, deeply felt loss, when the bulldozers came ... to begin the building, of a small apt complex, and adjoining parking lot!💓💕👍

The way this is reported tells such a small part of this movement - start your own, take a deeper look, and see the potential for real change if done globally and in support of eachother

The fact that there are more "community gardens" in New York than any other metropolis is NOT something to be proud off...Most people choose not to live on top of others and have their own garden.

You know, Central Park is amazing until you find out that wealthy diverse communities of both Whites and POC, but mostly Wealthy Blacks Communities many former Slaves were kicked out in order to build it! And that Natural Habitats were also destroyed in the process as well! Great Legacy there Central Park. Great Legacy

Cry. Just cry over the things you can't control. Cry that they just weren't as WOKE back on the day as you are now. Cry every single time for the eggshells that must be broken to bake a cake. It's so big and WOKE of you to judge the people of the past with the self-righteous morals of today. But don't worry, years down the road you too will be judged by those in the future with the popular morals of that time, and you will be seen as just as low as those you judge from the past now. Being WOKE is stupid. WAKE UP!

If you care about having untarnished Legacies, do yourself a favor and change your last name to one that isn't a constant reminder of sexual harassment, abuse, assault, and extortion. You might see your last name as something great and to be proud of, but what some corrupt person of great power, wealth and prestige did to it by being a sexual predator, it just makes a person sick to even hear the name uttered or to even to read it in written form. How does it feel to be canceled, marginalized, or diminished by the same WOKE judgment you presented? You can't run from your name.
