Help to transform our garden!

We are delighted to partner with the New York Restoration Project to develop part of FWCC’s outdoor space to host a new community garden. The garden at Fort Washington Collegiate Church will serve as a refuge in Washington Heights for us all to experience nature, beauty, and community. Following the tradition of kitchen gardens, at the garden members will grow food for the Fort Washington Collegiate Church Community Fridge (@FortFridge). The garden will also encourage biodiversity and feature native beneficial plants for pollinators and connect the church with the history and legacy of New York and Washington Heights, growing heirloom apple varieties and vegetables which celebrate the various cultural legacies of our neighborhood. The garden will also be an exciting way for neighbors young and old to get their hands dirty, learn about the environment, and contribute to the beautification and resiliency of our uptown home.

We're delighted to share that Tuesday evening garden hours resume on March 12th from 5:30 pm, and will happen every Tuesday unless otherwise informed or it is torrentially raining. 
We will not have garden hours on Tuesday, March 19th.

Sunday morning garden hours will also resume March 16th, starting at 9 am!

No gardening experience is required to participate! We can show you what to do, or if you would rather just experience nature, do some reading, and hang out.  

PS: If you have a friend who would like to be added to the mailing list, please let us know. The mailing list is the best place to learn about real-time updates if there is a change in plans.
