Esperanza Garden

Jardin de la Esperanza or Esperanza Garden was a community garden started in 1978 by Alecia Torres, a resident of New York City's Lower East Side. The garden began when Torres cleared rubble and trash out of an empty lot on East 7th Street, close to Avenue C in the East Village of Manhattan. The garden, later on, became a community space for growing medicinal plants, tending chickens, and a safe space for children to play.
