Children's Magical Garden, a community garden in the Lower East Side, where magic has been happening for the past 30 years, has been torn in two. The property is half claimed by NYC, and the other half by a private developer.

On Wednesday, May 15th, the developer broke through the garden fence, dug through the center and fenced off their part of the garden. The community is understandably devastated.

But there is hope! The gardeners are seeking a win-win solution.

Your part can make all the difference.

Community Gardeners to Mike: "Peas & Justice Now!"

In 2002 Mayor Mike Bloomberg announced: ".... we are providing permanent protection to hundreds of community gardens throughout New York City, and establishing a fair process for reviewing future proposals to develop other garden properties.... this agreement strikes the right balance between building for the future and preserving precious open space."
