BIG!Blooms Spotlight:

The McIntosh Neighborhood Association Garden has been in existence since 1978 as a community garden. They are a registered GreenThumb community garden and also a member garden of Brooklyn Queens Land Trust (BQLT). This garden is senior-led, with Ms. Ada Smothers as the current Garden Leader.
The McIntosh garden has been a NY Cares project for more than 10 years and also hosts children in the garden from a nearby private school. Every season they grow vegetables, fruit trees, herbs, perennial and annual flowers; they have two active compost bins and rain collection barrels. With the BIG!Blooms lumber they received this spring, they have built three new raised beds and have been able to repair/replace old boards for more than ten existing raised beds.
Check out our map of NYC gardens that have been growing thanks to the donated lumber from BIG!Blooms:
