As a long-time friend and supporter of NYRP’s greening efforts, Fritz Haeg is a Los Angeles-based architect, artist, gardener and social designer that designed our Hudson Guild Edible Garden. Opened in September 2009, the Hudson Guild Garden was created to serve as a model for small-scale urban edible landscapes and as a prototype for future green spaces on public housing sites across New York City.
Ever since NYRP was founded almost 15 years ago, it has been our mission to provide every New Yorker with a healthy and thriving open space to use and enjoy. As such, NYRP fully supports community gardens and local greening efforts citywide. We’ve restored, re-designed, maintained and programmed more than half of the organization’s 55 community gardens located throughout New York City’s five boroughs. Our efforts have transformed neglected areas into vibrant green spaces where family and kids can experience nature and learn from our environmental education programs and community events, such as our gardening workshop series.
