Join us for the 9th Annual She Builds Event at NYCHA Marlboro Houses!
Real estate leaders from across New York City are gathering once again to give back and enact change. This year, the She Builds committee will support Marlboro residents in revitalizing a large, active, NYCHA community garden.
Possible work scopes may include outdoor trash cleanup, replacing improvised garden bed walls with food safe, untreated lumber, replacing an improvised trellis and shade system with safe materials, replacing deteriorated planter walls, sifting contaminated soil and replacing with new soil and mulch where needed, creating a compost area, and dividing garden beds into manageable sections with safe footpaths.
Through this project, we will enhance this community garden to support NYCHA residents with access to food security and creating thriving third spaces. This garden will continue to serve as a vital resource, providing fresh produce and fostering community engagement.
