 The Brooklyn Queens Land Trust will now safeguard 32 additional community gardens and green spaces for the public. BROOKLYN, NY (Catholic Online) - The TPL has been saving public gardens from bulldozers for years, protecting the plots for more than 500 gardeners and the greater public.
The gardens are important because many city dwellers have little or no access to green places at all. So the sites have enormous value to the well being of local residents.
The property values of all the BQLT plots is well over $7 million combined.
