Gate Greeters

Community involvement begins with our Gate Greeters, who welcome all visitors when the Garden is open.

The role of a Gate Greeter is to welcome visitors, answer questions about the Garden's history and plantings, collect voluntary donations, and to make sure the rules of the Garden are followed so all may enjoy this special New York City oasis.
