A Brooklyn Volunteer Garden With Winding Flower Paths
Wander through Lentol Garden, where gardeners sometimes invite children to help water the flowers.
🌿 A Garden Shaped by Volunteers
Take a slower walk through Lentol Garden, a volunteer run pocket of greenery at 178 Bayard St in Brooklyn. The garden is open to the public. Winding paths lead past roses and tulips, and a local musician occasionally adds a soundtrack. The flowers share the space with the people who care for this neighborhood garden, giving a stroll here a distinctly community shaped character.
Volunteers trim trees and protect native species. Gardeners may even invite children to help water the flowers, depending on when you drop by. Regulars treat this stretch of greenery as a closely guarded neighborhood secret, with a quiet atmosphere behind the fence.
Its gates are open Saturday and Sunday from 10 AM to 2 PM, Tuesday and Friday from 10 AM to noon, and Thursday from 5 PM to 7 PM, with Monday and Wednesday closed.
