Find Your Community Garden
Anyone can join a garden. With more than 600 gardens across the five boroughs, we urge potential members and volunteers to choose carefully. To aid in your search, we have provided below the NYC Open Accessible Space Information System (OASIS), where you can search for gardens by name, street address, block and lot number, zip code, neighborhood, community board or borough.
After entering your search criteria, click on the corresponding “Search” button to bring up the map.
Interpreting Your OASIS Search Results
Community gardens are in a light olive green color.
To the right of the map, there are different map criteria that you can check on or off. To ensure that you are looking only at community gardens, click off the check marks next to everything except Community Gardens.
To identify gardens, simply click on the garden of interest. (An orange marker will appear to show that it’s been selected.) Then click on the Location Report tab (next to Legend) on the right side of the screen and scroll down to view garden details. You can read information about the properties, such as land ownership, the block and lot number, zoning, and more.
Above the map are tools that allow you to Zoom In, Zoom Out, or examine the location as mapped in another time period.
You can also use the directional arrows to scroll North, South, East, and West to find your street or neighborhood.
Feel free to call our office or email us once you know the name of the garden, so that we can provide you with the contact information of the community volunteer(s) coordinating the garden activities.
