Events
Each year, both The Riverside Park Conservancy and The Garden People schedule work days and volunteer sessions where everyone is welcome to pitch in to help and to meet the gardeners who help tend spots throughout Riverside Park.
 
Please check Riverside Park Conservancy's website for their volunteer events here:  https://riversideparknyc.org/

We had a great 2024 season in the 91st Street Garden and are looking forward to 2025!

​Please check back for upcoming events with The Garden People on this page.

In every season there’s something to look at in the garden, even in the heart of winter when snow blankets the dried blooms, grasses, and shrubs. So we hope you’ll bundle up and stop by during the winter months, too, to enjoy a quiet moment at the garden.

Strangers before the pandemic, Thursday Morning Poets (TMP) first met at a Queens Public Library virtual workshop led by Queens Poet Laureate Maria Lisella, whose prompt-based workshop inspired them to continue on their own, forming TMP.
