Had the pleasure of volunteering yesterday at their beautiful garden. Amazing ppl the continue to build up the community one veggie at a time
This garden is in need of a face lift. There is garbage and different sorts of personal belongings all over the grounds. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the layout and instead of feeling serene in the garden I felt anxiety. I believe that there is some rehabilitation in the works for this garden. I saw construction workers scattered about investigating the site.
La Finca del Sur is a community Garden. It is located in the South Bronx, right off of the 4 train on 138th Street Station stop. The garden is very easy to get to. I visited this garden a few times now and I love the environment, the view and the workers. My fave is Francis, she is amazing and has a heart for the vegitation and the people. I have learned so much from Francis in such little time. I learned how to harvest and propagate Basil. I learned about Cilantro, Tomatoes, Jalapeños, Cucumbers, and even Sunflowers. They have a lot more vegatables and flowers to take a look at. Stop by La Finca and leave full of knowledge and nutritious goodness!
Beauty and serenity as members plant to provide authentic organic plant based foodd for a south bronx community
Many may not know this, but this garden is in the exact spot where a 138th Street railroad station existed on Metro North!
A great learning experience for children and adults
Another beautiful spot in the Bronx. They really take care of pollinators here. Nice community garden.
This place gets 5 stars not for its looks since it's quite unassuming and located between the Major Deegan and Metro North with the subway running underneath. It gets it for what the women who found the place did. Once a derelict, trash filled eyesore it has been transformed into an urban farm. Seeing is believing and what you can do with whatever space you can find.
