Next Steps and What to Expect

As the garden group’s designated contact, it is your responsibility to communicate announcements from GreenThumb to the group and to help facilitate the 2023 relicensing of the garden. Please find below a timeline for the 2023 Relicensing process:

Jul. 14th – Aug. 19th, 2022: Submit Responses to 2019-2022 GreenThumb License Agreement Survey
Sep. 13th – Nov. 13th, 2022: Attend one Q&A Session (watch video tutorial before your session)

We will continue sending updates to all garden contacts for GreenThumb gardens located wholly or partially on NYC Parks’ property. Please keep an eye out for these important updates.

Caring for a GreenThumb community garden is an important form of community service and we thank you for taking on this responsibility to make your neighborhood and our city a better place. GreenThumb is here to support garden groups however we can, and we are thankful for the opportunity to get to work with dedicated New Yorkers like you.
