"Jenny’s Garden is a beautiful space. Come volunteer with us on Sunday mornings at 10:30am for trash pickup. @jennysgarden138 on ig"
"Started volunteering here after reading some books about gardens. While I've been volunteering with riverside park conservancy for over 30 years this is the only garden in riverside park that grows food. I come here when the gate is unlocked but also some other mornings to pick up trash outside on 12th avenue nearby. These are the books: Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teaching of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmerer The Botany of Desire: A Plant’s Eye View of the World by Michael Pollan Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life by Barbara Kingsolver Was weeding today in what is called the 'back 40'. This garden is huge! It goes north all the way to the overlook which is halfway between 139th and 140th."
"Love to run on the track and the park is always clean. The only problem I got is they need to get rid of the The swerd smell that comes from the ground or pipes.."
"Great space to come and relax. It's nice that citizens volunteer their time and money to creat a relaxing atmosphere for the community. We need more places like this in the city."
"Jenny's Garden (Riverside Valley Community Garden) is a great escape when you want to reconnect to the earth. They accept volunteers on Saturdays and Sundays from 10am-2pm so I hope to see you there!"
