About this event
Since 1981, The Garden People have lovingly cared for this special corner in the heart of Riverside Park. What began as a grassroots effort by neighbors has blossomed into an iconic New York City landmark and a beloved refuge for community members and visitors. Join us as we celebrate 45 years of growing together and say thank you to the neighbors, volunteers, friends, and supporters who have helped our garden thrive. Enjoy an afternoon of live music and community amid the beauty of the garden.
