First created at the beginning of the 1970's thanks to the initiative of local residents, the Loisaida community gardens, of which there are about 60, stand out as one of the most interesting examples of New York's hidden green urban spaces. This book provides a history and a survey of these gardens which reflect strongly on the personal tastes and interests of the residents.
