Park(ing) Day NYC: A Garden Grows in Flatbush

Sustainable Flatbush and Flatbush Gardener joined forces to transform a parking space into a temporary garden on the corner of Cortelyou Road and Argyle Road. "I had to get out here at 2 a.m. to grab the space, then come back at 7 a.m. to build the garden," Chris Kreussling of Flatbush Gardener told me. "We even have wi-fi access thanks to the Brooklyn Library." From what I saw, the biggest hit with the younger visitors was the real grass.

It's like an oasis amidst the city of tall buildings and roaring vehicles.
