GreenThumb has extended the deadline to sign the new garden license agreement. The new deadline is Friday, September 20.
NYCCGC continues to urge gardens to not sign the license. More than half the community gardens in New York City have not signed the new agreement.
The City has adopted some of our recommendations but they have not accepted many that are crucial for protecting community gardens and their stewards. Read about the changes we urge the City to make to the license.
The City is putting pressure on gardeners to sign an onerous agreement. They are threatening groups that have been voluntarily gardening for more than 30 years. All gardeners have a stake in the license terms which put gardens at risk of being locked out. We as community gardeners must stand together. Our next action will be on the steps of City Hall on September 19 at 10am.
