Next Milestone • 1,000 Gardens
Phase 1: Rewild existing street space
Convert tree beds, bare medians, and more into wildflower gardens.
"A delight."

New York has 50 Central Parks worth of unused space.
We're going to do something about it.
Choose ONE tree bed in the city
It can have a tree in it or just be an empty pit.
Plant seeds there
You can buy them yourself or get them from us.
All of us grow together
We're all learning as we go!

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 sucks.
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...
Just maybe...
There's a path forward.
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.
Choose one tree bed below to get started.
