Family Garden Sponsored by Tiffany & Co.

What’s growing across two blocks of East Harlem? A patchwork of raised beds and common plots where neighbors plant flowers, tomatoes, and herbs under blue skies. Family Garden Sponsored by Tiffany & Co. turns 114th Street into an open-air classroom and lunch spot on weekdays, with hand-worked soil and quiet rows between brownstones.

The garden sits at 431 E 114th St, New York, NY 10029, four blocks east of St. Mary’s Park and one block from the 6 train. Growers trade seeds, tools, and growing tips under striped awnings and in the afternoon shade of maple trees; a simple bench circles the elderberry shrubs for volunteers who arrive before sunrise.
