Proposed as an alternative to high rise development and established as a garden in 2002, the Stuyvesant Cove Park Association brought in the idea that the cove should always have food available for birds and insects. As it's on the Atlantic Flyway, birds flocked in and dropped other native seeds over the years.
As the East Side Coastal Resilience project loomed closer, moveable planters were set up for a small portion of the abundant plants, and in summer 2021, many plants were dug up for transplantation as the bulldozers moved closer (as this video shows). Where will this amazing garden take root? This map will show where plants were moved in 2021
