For most New Yorkers, “outdoors” is our streets, sidewalks, bus stops, commercial plazas and bike paths. Destination park visits are not part of our daily routine. Contact with nature happens on the go: in planters, tree pits, and other small “in-between” areas, incidental or planned, that provide access to earth and greenery. At The Hort, we Green the In-Between, even in spaces considered “unplantable.” We believe that these planted spaces add up to provide city dwellers with the people-plant connection essential for a healthy society. There are 22,000 acres of parkland in New York City, but there are 220,000 acres in the grid, the in-between. Planting the grid ensures that our city can equitably provide the health, recreation, psychological, career, harvest, and ecological benefits of the natural world.
