Who are we?
Q Gardens Community Farm (“Q Gardens”) consists of a group of neighbors in the Flatbush area of Brooklyn, NY, who have joined to convert an unused lot into a productive and welcoming community garden.
Where is Q Gardens located?
Q Gardens is located at 58 East 18th Street (between Church Ave and Caton Ave), behind the southernmost entrance of the Church Ave B/Q subway station.
What is Q Gardens’ mission?
Our mission is to convert a formerly unused lot into a beautiful, productive community garden that provides:
- A welcoming, public green space that is open at least 10 hours each week
- A local source of fresh, pesticide-free fruits, vegetables, flowers, and herbs
- A space for children and adults to learn about and actively participate in gardening, composting, and sustainability projects
- A community composting site for diverting food waste from landfills and producing nutrient-rich compost
- A space for building community, connecting with nature, and hosting arts and cultural events
