The south garden entrance is across from the Fire Department at 750 Main St.  Roosevelt Island Garden Club, Inc. is a leaseholder of the Roosevelt Island Operating Corporation and subject to the laws of NY City and NY State.

The purpose of the RIGC is listed above in our mission statement 
RIGC members and associates work together as volunteers gardening side by side in this 132 plot community space.
