GreenThumb NYC
Also known as: NYC Parks GreenThumb
The largest community-gardening program in the United States — operated by NYC Parks since 1978, supporting 550+ community gardens across all five boroughs of New York City, including dozens on Staten Island. Provides infrastructure, materials, training, and the institutional layer that lets neighborhood-run gardens persist on city land. The reason most of NYC's community gardens still exist.

Why this listing
A bioregion’s food-sovereignty layer at the household and block scale is community gardens. GreenThumb is the institution that keeps that layer functional in NYC. Listed as knowledge-care because the program is the substrate beneath every neighborhood-run plot in [[san-francisco|the city]] — including the SI gardens that aren’t yet listed individually here.
