Community gardens can provide valuable places for people to gather, grow plants, and spend time outdoors, particularly in neighborhoods where open space is limited. In Queens, one former community garden underwent a major transformation with support from rapper Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and others, becoming a lasting public green space.
