This year’s Harvest Festival is the culmination of Elizabeth Street Garden: Neighborhood LIVING Room, a neighborhood-led initiative that invites our larger community to engage with the Garden as an outdoor living room and shared backyard. The season-long initiative was funded in part with a generous grant from Citizens Committee for New York City.
