A Petition To
Save Harlem’s Community Gardens and
Harlem Grown’s Greenhouse
February 2015
February 14, 2015 To the Mayor of New York City: Harlem shouldn’t be forced to choose between its home-‐grown community gardens and affordable housing. The attached petition lists the first 1,548 people signed on to support our community’s fight to save these spaces in their current locations. Please take the time to read these comments written by community members and supporters from all around the city and worldwide, recognizing the need to protect these spaces. These are your constituents and their beautiful words represent the voices of our communities. In Harlem, the need for affordable housing barely needs to be spoken. Our community supports true affordable housing. Yet, Harlem residents live in a Community Parks Initiative zone – a label that signals years of neglect by the city in capital improvements for our community’s green and play areas. We – all of NYC, across the country and the world -‐ need solutions that allow our active community-‐led spaces on the forefront of food and environmental justice to stay where they are AND find suitable vacant spaces for affordable housing. Attached you will find petition signatures and comments which attest to the long-‐standing advocacy for community gardens citywide. Please reconsider the selection of these sites for RFQs. Thank you. Respectfully, Your constituents and supporters of Harlem’s green spaces and community gardens citywide

PETITION TEXT Harlem shouldn't be forced to choose between its home-grown community
gardens and affordable housing. Please sign this petition to ask New York City
Housing Preservation and Development and Mayor Bill de Blasio to select
alternative sites for affordable housing to save our community gardens and
Harlem Grown's greenhouse.
Harlem Grown and its Executive Director Tony Hillery were just profiled in DNA
Info for the amazing work they provide for the Harlem community: its selection
by the city threatens a hydroponic greenhouse that produces over 2,000 pounds of food for the local community and local restaurants.
Community gardens selected in Harlem include the Jackie Robinson
Community Garden on Park Avenue and Pleasant Village Community
Garden's lots on East 118th Street. The Jackie Robinson garden was founded
over 20 years ago by Betty Gaether, a local resident, who turned a desolate strip
into a local jewel. It had been selected for tree pruning assistance through
the Gardens of the City program several years ago.
These long-standing community groups benefit our neighborhoods and
make our communities a better place: by educating our community about
healthy foods and urban gardening, providing job and volunteer opportunities,
and being on the front lines of food and environmental justice advocacy.
It is clear that our communities are welcome recipients of affordable housing
and we recognize the necessity. But with many vacant lots available, we
petition HPD and the Mayor to reconsider other sites for the affordable
housing plan so these long-standing community groups can continue to
benefit our community for years to come. Petition by Marie Winfield, Friends of Thomas Jefferson Park, East Harlem/El Barrio At the time of printing, there were 1,548 signatures.

Harlem Grown means so much to this community, please don't destroy this beautiful asset! I lived in NYC for 10 years and have personally volunteered there, along with my entire office from Expedia.com. We were blown away by Tony's dedication and sacrifice to bring quality food to the local community. Please save Harlem Grown! Les-‐Ann Woolcock, Ft. Lauderdale, FL

I was born and raised in this community it has changed so much and I don't mind change if its it's for a good cause but I feel that sometimes people forget what the true meaning of a community is it is not the luxury in its surroundings but the little places, stores that have been there for years, gardens that the community got together to built, the people that have been living for 25 plus years! It's nice to come back to my neighbors and see the same people, the same stores, the same gardens! When I am in my community East 118st I feel at home and remember my childhood and desire to go back to those wonderful years if I could only turn time but it’s not possible! But just coming back to the familiarity of the neighborhood gives me the hope and strengthens my faith and I feel everything is going to be ok! Please don't take that away it may be meaningless to many but to others especially me that is worth more than a million dollars. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this message it comes from my heart! God bless you :,) Nancy Flores, Chicago, IL

There should be able to be community gardens & affordable housing. Both make for better community -‐ something that is getting lost in our fair city. Green space -‐ and gardens specifically -‐ provide such enjoyment and satisfaction -‐ not to mention the produce and flowers that are created by hand. This has a very different effect on our lives than the benefits parks and bike paths provide. Let's get creative and find alternate ways to find space for housing Jen Fish, New York, NY

Transformed from an empty lot where criminal activity often took place, it is now an overflowing garden, a world unto itself, full of greens and most importantly full of exuberant kids from the school across the street grabbing your hand and dragging you to their specific little plot of land, yelling "Try this tomato!! I grew it myself!!" This is a place where happiness and hope grows in people and in the soil, as a people of nyc, we must save it. Indrani Krishnan, New York, NY

I work in NYC with community gardeners and have been doing so for 10 years. I understand how important community gardens can be for creating necessary, nourishing, collective spaces in neighborhoods to provide open space, community-‐building, civic pride, good food, and so on. These spaces are so often created by community members as an act of love and healing. This is not vacant land. Owen Taylor, Brooklyn, NY

This is an incredible garden, unlike any other I know of in the city, they're doing incredible things, and THEY NEED THIS SPACE! If it is sold for housing, it will NOT serve the community in any way.

We need the community gardens in Harlem!!! There are lots of empty lots and abandoned buildings that can be replaced with affordable housing. Our kids need the gardens and the green house. It enhances quality of life for so many who cannot afford homes with backyards, vacationing or vacation homes. The community garden builds strong communities which leads to safer neighborhoods! Think long-‐term or look at the big picture if you will and keep the community gardens. Everyone benefits from it! Ingrid Kullberg, New York, NY

I am signing this petition because I live in Harlem and these so call affordable housing are not so affordable because the majority of the people cannot afford them. So, for who are they building these so called affordable housing. These companies build these building so close to the other ones that are already there that like me we do not have any ventilation what so ever in the kitchen and the bedroom we could touch the wall from the other building that how close it is. If there is a fire in our building we would not have the proper way to get out. Why not renovate all those buildings that are empty and leave the garden for our kids to enjoy?

I am an urban agriculture consultant looking to build my career in NYC. Working with the community greenhouse on 135th street has helped me practice my trade and give back to the community. I have learned more than I ever could about the subject from volunteering at their thriving greenhouse. I strongly oppose using that land for anything other that a community farm. Too much time and money has been spent and too much local good has come for it to be taken away from the community. I am HarlemGrown! Henry Gordon-‐Smith, New York, NY

Knowing the contribution and energy these gardens brought to the Lower East Side where I lived for 30 years, I thought we had moved beyond the hyped false dichotomy of affordable housing vs. community gardens. With all the talk of establishing a LES garden district let's not forget all the other neighborhoods from Harlem to East NY where community gardens bring immeasurable quality of life benefits to residents.

I am signing this because of my active participation in gardens throughout Harlem. I have had the blessing of being apart of a youth organization that has thought me the fundamentals of gardening and landscaping. As a teenager, working and developing our garden, along with others, has thought me skills and lessons that will be able to stay with me for the rest of life. Stripping away the gardens in Harlem will also strip the opportunities to change a young person's life. Cristian Hernandez, New York, NY

I pass this incredible garden almost every day. This special community driven initiative is exactly what we should be seeing more of in NYC. To destroy it when we have so many other viable sites for affordable housing is not only tragic but irresponsible. In a climate where we have seen so many extra curricular constructive educational programs in Harlem cut due to funding, the garden remains a beacon of hope. PLEASE save and continue to support this garden. It is essential for the community! Lee-‐Ann Pinder, New York, NY

In the past ten years that I have been working with children in scool / community gardens I have seen the amazing power and benefit of people growing food together and having good food to eat. We face many problems in today's world -‐ community gardens are part of the solution. They are a wonderful example of people of all ages working together to help others and themselves. Protecting and supporting them helps positive outcomes for public health and environmental stability. Studies have shown that behavior and cognitive abilities are improved by children who have access to nature including gardens (Pew Charitable Trust 1996) Michele Heller, Lopez Island, WA

Harlem's pocket parks and gardens are really the jewels of the neighborhood. They're treasured by the community and should not be demolished for new housing. There are plenty of city-‐owned lots that aren't occupied by garden space. Use them instead. The lack of intelligent planning is beyond disgraceful. Frankly, it's embarrassing that a progressive mayor would even consider destroying community gardens that have helped revitalize and stabilize neighborhoods. Thomas Collins, New York, NY

I am born in Harlem and still living here. I would like to uplift Harlem and give back to what is raising me. Despite gentrification and migrations of outer city folk to the village, there are natives that are working to keep the authentic culture by giving who we are and representing Harlem the best. We should conserve our landmarks and our lands , our gardens, our Harlem owned businesses and we should try to keep this village fostered and thriving authentically! Noel Wippler, New York, NY

I grew in in Harlem, my children and so will my grand babies and those Community Gardens bring the people together and the food grown there is given out to the community, the children are involved, they're beautiful to lok at and adds to the visual of the neighborhood, too many reasons to name, just leave them be ease and thank you!!

There is just as much need for community run green space and the chance for young people/residents to learn how to grow plants and food as there is for affordable housing.

I'm signing this petition because I believe these gardens support a cultural and environmental vibrancy unique to NYC and much needed in any urban landscape. They create supportive communities of committed individuals dedicated to making areas of our city safe havens where children and adults can find peace and security. Additionally, I could never overstate the environmental heat island mitigation aspects of such green spaces and the benefits they contribute to surrounding development both aesthetically and in physical gains such as fresh, healthy produce.

The East Village, where I live, lost many of its gardens to upscale luxury condos, which benefit no one, thanks to the multi-‐million dollar giveaways to developers. Do not allow the same thing to happen there, and be real – what will go in will not be affordable, no one builds that any more. It will be for the rich, which everything in the city is these days, and to hell with the rest of us. Lisa Ramaci, New York, NY

I'm signing because this garden is part of our Hamilton Heights Green Coalition, and it would sadden us to see this place go. We have learned and shared so much with Tony, his garden, and our groups of kids and teens, and I don't think it's fair that we should have to choose between affordable housing and a garden that benefits, not only the school across the street, but our organization, as well as many others.

A community in NYC should not have to choose between self sustained survival techniques and affordable housing, especially since there are thousands of places in this city where affordable housing could be built without taking away the precious few usable green spaces in this city. Harlem Grown has found a way to feed the community and educate the young, and now the city wants to end all of that??? Really bad idea and so not cost effective to anybody in the long run.

I have met Tony and the others that work at [Harlem Grown] and greenhouse project and have had guided tours by the children they work with. The kids Tony works with are so enthusiastic to learn about growing their own food and making their own compost. Their enthusiasm is contagious and now their school and their families are involved. This is the most positive project that I have experienced since moving to Harlem. The Greenhouse employs local people and also teaches how to grow food. There are plenty of other empty lots in the city that could be used for housing, but this lot needs to remain free for growing vegetables. Please don't crush the dream and project that the children and gardeners have worked so hard to create. Anita Clement, New York, NY

Community gardens are oasises in New York's urban jungle, where citizens have a peaceful place to unite, empower, educate and nourish themselves. These gardens are vital to the community.
