Horticultural Society of New York’s Urban Greening Program

The Horticultural Society of New York is the city’s premiere landscaping non-profit, which creates and sustains horticulture in a dense urban landscape. Their services include: designing, renovating and installing gardens and planters, watering and maintenance services, tree planting and tree pit care. They transform spaces that others would deem “unplantable” (plazas, bus stops, large concrete swaths) into gardens with native vegetation and tree pits, particularly in low-income neighborhoods.
