We create greenspaces and gardens that engage people on their sidewalks, in public plazas and open streets. On the ground, plant by plant, we transform neighborhoods, homeless shelters and nursing homes, schools and even jails. We support all people in their quest to improve their lives and communities with urban horticulture.
Get inspired. Stay up to date on events around the city. Read about the latest in the practice of urban horticulture.
We have something for everyone. From cooking classes to gardening techniques, from art making to soil science, you can explore your curiosities and feed your intellect. Come to a Hort event and find a community that shares your love of plants.
We heal together in our kitchens, gardens, and shared spaces.What does it mean to heal in community? What does it feel like when we extend care to ourselves and the … Recipes and Rituals for Community Care
Beautiful greenspaces bring joy, fosters community pride and increases a property’s appeal. We design, build and maintain greenspaces and gardens that beautify buildings, developments, and neighborhoods with everything from planters to multi-acre gardens, to tree pits, raised beds and greenways.
We improve our city’s greenspaces and engage people with plants. The Hort’s programs are diverse, practical, therapeutic, and educational. We show that well-planned, equitable urban horticulture has the power to transform individuals, communities, and our environment.
Today is the 54th anniversary of Abbey Road and nobody knows these roads better than our Open Streets crew!

Thank you for helping to create and maintain green spaces for us all to enjoy and "come together" as a community. ☮️

As part of the HortNYC program, our trainees attend field trips to learn about horticulture in some of NYC`s most unique greenspaces.
