Green Oasis Community Garden & Gilbert's Sculpture Garden

Green Oasis Community Garden & Gilbert's Sculpture Garden Open from 11 am to 5 pm weekend days from May 1 to October 31. New members welcome! Meetings are the first and third Sundays of the month, 11am.

Through the work of hundreds of volunteers, we have created two community gardens where there was nothing but rot, miraculous places where people of all ages and colors, flowers, birds, bees, trees, fish, and insects grow and prosper. Visitors from around the world marvel at the gardens’ striking beauty; they boast many trees, including apple, peach, and cherry trees; a grape arbor; a koi pond; a

stage; picnic areas; a children’s garden and play area. Our active beehives are a cause for celebration, A composting facility allows members to reprocess garden cuttings and organic food scraps. A magnificently redesigned Gilbert's Sculpture Garden is flourishing. And the Green Oasis gazebo, donated by Amblin Productions after the 1987 sci-fi comedy *batteries not included was filmed in the garden, is a beloved neighborhood landmark. Green Oasis Community Garden/Gilbert's Sculpture Garden is affiliated with NYC's Green Thumb as well as its Department of Parks.

I stopped by after my ceramics class to just stretch out on the bench cushions, smell the amazing scents now from all the amazing flowers blooming and take in all the bird sounds. I think times like this are so important. I am thankful to have this place.

Today was a gorgeous day in our Oasis. Dan the Beekeeper was there and our bees were happily buzzing about! He was there to feed them since it is currently a pollen time not a nectar time.
The Virginia Blue Bells will be blossoming soon . I saw a Red Headed Flicker, Mourning Doves, Robins, Blue Jays and saw our squirrels. I heard a bird that was a Warbler or Wren. I only heard it.

You are welcome.
