ABOUT THE GARDEN
ELIZABETH STREET GARDEN
Elizabeth Street Garden is the only green oasis in the Little Italy and SoHo neighborhood.
The Garden, open to the public by volunteers, provides a beautiful sanctuary for local
residents and workers. Transformation from a derelict lot into a garden began in 1991,
when Elizabeth Street Gallery leased the site from New York City.
FRIENDS OF
ELIZABETH STREET GARDEN
In June 2013, neighbors and local businesses came together to preserve Elizabeth Street
Garden as a unique public green, open space and New York City Park. Since then,
Friends of Elizabeth Street Garden has grown a volunteer base of more than 400 people
and a mailing list of more than 3,500 subscribers, established a 501(c)(3) nonprofit
corporation, opened the Garden to the public year-round and offered more than 150 free,
public events—including gardening and educational programming, arts and cultural
events and wellness activities.
