Today

Peaceful green sanctuary where neighbors cultivate plants, community connections, and environmental stewardship. This shared gardening space provides plots for residents to grow flowers, vegetables, and herbs while fostering friendships and sustainable practices. The tranquil environment offers respite from urban life while teaching valuable lessons about nature, growth, and collaboration.

Oasis Community Garden
Heather Holland Wheaton
Oasis is a perfect symbol of Hell’s Kitchen. A pile of rubble where two tenements once stood and given to a bunch of scrappy neighbors to turn into a community garden. A few of those scrappy neighbors are still gardeners there. I have my own plot there. A little piece of real estate where I’ve grown pumpkins, rhubarb, lavender and basil. My next-door plot neighbor is the artist Jim Seffens. Always happy when I run into him. He’s a real Hell’s Kitchen historian — and so witty. We still find bricks when we’re digging. Most of them are made in the ‘hood.

A small piece of heaven where you can go and sit down and relax. You’re surrounded by beauty and if you’re a resident you can even earn your own little plot to plant things and tend to them.
