Gloria Chung on photographing East Village gardens in the fall.
Lower East Side Ecology Center Community
Ninth Street Community Garden
”I like biking or walking by community gardens and seeing evidence of the gardeners who take such good care of these spaces: a wheelbarrow, compost bins, a running sprinkler.”
11BC Serenity Garden
”This particular little garden has great events: live jazz music, film/video projections, poetry readings, parties, art installations.”
6BC Botanical Garden
“A beautiful green space all year round with an herb garden, grape arbor, picnic tables, library and tool shed structure and small ponds.”
El Jardin Del Paraiso
”I love the Roderick Romero treehouse in El Jardin del Paraiso, a green space which apparently has a long history from being a site of razed tenement buildings and drug wars to the present-day ‘model eco park’ reincarnation.
