Garden tour & Unveiling of Audubon Mural Project

Stop by Melrose New Generation Community Garden and check out the garden's new mural the Great Crested Flycatcher and the Yellow Warbler with Purple Honeysuckle by artist D. Gale.​

This mural is part of the Audubon Mural Project, a public-art initiative drawing attention to birds that are vulnerable to extinction from climate change, NYC Parks GreenThumb partnered with National Audubon Society,  Gitler &_____ Gallery, and local artists to design murals on sheds at GreenThumb community gardens across New York City. Through a collaborative process between the partners, artist, and community garden group, each mural was designed to feature climate-threatened birds that rely on green spaces like these urban gardens and native plants that birds depend on for food and shelter.
