One tiny garden at a time
Hi everyone!
I'm Mayank, and I guess all of this is in response to a single problem—
In NYC, it's too easy to feel disconnected from our natural environment.
Parks are far-off, community gardens are sparse, and concrete covers the land.
And that's shit.
Feeling connected to nature — and each other — feels good. We know this in our bones. We go out of our way to get out of the city — to hikes, mountains, beaches, national parks — just to feel a touch more calm, light, and connected.
But then we come back and we do something confusing.
We settle for missing it altogether.
We accept that parks will be far away.
That there will be waitlists for community gardens.
That the AWESOME, calming, lighthearted rhythm that we find outside the city will always be buried under concrete and commutes here at home.
But maybe we're wrong!
Everywhere we look — street trees lie bare. Medians empty. Terraces untraversed.
There's a blank canvas right in front of us — 50 Central Parks worth of space — hidden in plain site.
Our plan?
Bring New Yorkers on a lighthearted mission to rewild it all — one tiny garden at a time.
