We are open for new members for the 2026 season! If you are interested in joining, please check out the membership requirements and fee on our website. Reach out with any questions!

Every member is required to care for the garden for one week - mowing the lawn, watering 3x a week, opening and closing the gates on Saturday and Sunday for our required open hours, and more.

The South Brooklyn Children's Garden creates a green space for children, their families, and the greater community to connect with nature through gardening.
