Events

Each year Park Services and The Garden People schedule a number of workdays and volunteer days where everyone is welcome to come out and pitch in with gardening or stop by and meet all the gardeners who tend your favorite spots.

2020-2021 NO Events or Volunteer Days Until Further Notice​

In alignment with the Riverside Park Conservancy and the NYC Parks Department, The Garden People are suspending events and weekly volunteer sessions until further notice.   
Visitors might see individual gardeners working in the garden in isolation from one another. The Conservancy has authorized this practice for our existing members.
We hope visitors enjoy the season’s flowers and maintain the “social distance” of 6 feet from each other and from any gardeners.
Please avoid touching the fences as you try for a closer look at the flowers.
