Excerpt:
“There are children in Castle Hill who are learning how tomatoes grow, how compost works and what it means to take care of the land,” Farías said. “Karol’s Urban Community Farm proves that when residents are given tools and support, they can transform their own backyard into something extraordinary. I’m proud we were able to invest in a space that strengthens food access and fosters improved quality of life in our community at the same time.”
Farías was able to secure investment from the City Council to fund the creation of the gazebo.
Karol’s Urban Community Farm is a volunteer-led NYCHA community garden that is intended to help Castle Hill residents meet their food needs through urban agriculture. In addition to local volunteers, it is also cared for by other Castle Hill residents, as well as staff members from the New York Botanical Garden’s Bronx Green-Up.
Acting tenant president of NYCHA Castle Hill Houses, Annette Cotton, recalled her friend Karol Moore, a longtime resident for whom the farm was named.
“She would have loved it,” Cotton said of the gazebo. “She loved being involved in the community —she loved whatever was going on.”
The Bronx Green-Up program allows the New York Botanical Garden to provide horticultural expertise, technical assistance and training to Karol’s Urban Community Farm and other community gardens in the Bronx. It supports resident-led efforts to expand urban agriculture and environmental education.
