Spring and summer in bloom at Albert’s Garden

One of our favorite neighborhood gardens has released its upcoming slate of free workshops and events.

Albert's Garden, the longtime community garden on Second Street between the Bowery and Second Avenue, will host a series of spring and summer gatherings, including plant workshops, guitar lessons, writing sessions and live music.

Upcoming events include: 

• May 23: Potting Plants for Your Apartment with Heather Frankel (11 a.m.-noon) 
• May 27: Strum Along guitar workshop with Heather Boo (6-7 p.m.) 
• June 20: "A Garden as Writing Prompt" with Prof. Emerita Barbara Horn (1-2:15 p.m.) 
• June 21: Make Music NY performance with Kim Kalesti
The garden — which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2022 — remains one of the neighborhood’s quieter green spaces, tucked behind the Bowery and long associated with the Ramones-era East Village scene.
