Spring and Summer 2021
July 2021 - From Carolina Trujillo, "We call D01 "Sparrow Lane", and we are very proud of our Bee hotel or Airbee that has visitors now." Thank you to Carolina in D-01 So happy to welcome you and Jorg as new members this year.
Thank you to William Rich, Hilda Rich's son, for sending his beautiful professional photographs from June 2021 found here at Flickr.
Thank you to our public visitor who sent this note On June 7th, 2021: Good afternoon!
Yesterday I took my first trip to Roosevelt Island and I somehow stumbled upon the amazing garden. One of the gates was unlocked and a sign said I should look at the flowers, so I did. I'm including some of the photos because it was such a pleasure to visit the garden.
Thank you, Jim Romanshek

Thank you Halima Aouchette for this glorious record from last fall.
Early Spring 2019
The Hellebore or Lenten roses have bloomed. Small spring bulbs are popping up all over with Crocuses, Scilla, Iris reticulata, and Daffodils. Soon we will see Tulips and native spring ephemerals like Virgina bluebells.

This was an especially good year for the Community Garden. These colorful highlights are from gardener Robert Ostergaard.

From Henry and Erika--circa 1992--These pictures were taken from the platform under the cottonwood tree shortly after our current RIGC site opened. Imagine the community service tasks of the day! Henry says they worked hard to dig out all the rocks in the soil.
From Don---Circa 1989--These pictures were taken at our second community garden site. This site is now currently the location behind the RI subway station and is currently filled with the Southtown/Riverwalk buildings and shops.
