Within Greenwich village lies Jefferson Market Garden. Originally the garden, as you may have guessed, was a market. The market was then leveled, and a courthouse was built. When it came time to tear down the courthouse, there was such an uproar that they decided to convert it into a library and the surrounding area a garden. Now you can spend your day in botanical bliss at Jefferson Market Garden.
There are year round events in the garden. In May there is the festival of flowers which is popular with the kiddos. In the summer you can enjoy free music on Wednesday evenings. And in the fall you can take part in the October harvest festival which includes pumpkin painting and treats.
You can learn more about the events and festivals at the garden on their website.
The garden is open on afternoons, except for Monday, weather permitting between May and October.
The May Children’s Festival of Flowers is on May 15th 11AM to 2PM.
