3rd and 3rd
Built as a guerilla garden in 2012, the 3rd and 3rd Garden was designed and constructed entirely by volunteers using donated materials. The plantings include material propagated by Gowanus Canal Conservancy volunteers and plants donated by Pleasant Run Nursery. Local construction company Monadnock Construction donated the bricks that line the garden beds. The soils were amended by compost made in Gowanus through Gowanus Canal Conservancy’s Composting Gowanus Initiative.
