Morning Glory Community Garden is a 10,286 square foot urban farm and community garden in the Crotona Park East neighborhood of the South Bronx.[1][2]
History[edit]
From 2009 to 2011, Morning Glory Community Garden was a community garden located at 149th Street and Southern Boulevard in the South Bronx. In 2014, Morning Glory Community Garden was officially allotted a space as part of the Gardens for Healthy Communities Program within the Mayor's Obesity Task Force Initiative and relocated to its present location on Hoe Avenue.[3]
In 2016, to increase access to affordable, nutritious produce, Morning Glory Garden created a harvest box program, in which Bronx residents could enroll and purchase biweekly deliveries of organic produce from mid-April to November.[4] Since 2020, the harvest boxes have been free and available for pickup for any Bronx resident.
