Location: 46th Ave and 39th Street S

Believed to be one of the last two Victory Gardens – we have a lovely group of gardens here in Longfellow. While each plot is a bit different, some exclusively veggies or flowers, and others a mix of the two – I loved this bench set at the entrance to the gardens, positioned to take it all in.

On Saturday, August 18, there’s a celebration of the 75th anniversary of the garden, open from 11-1. There’ll be heirloom tomato tastings, and exhibitions of the plants grown in the gardens, as well other planned happenings. Hope you can join in!
