6B Garden arose out of the community’s desire to cultivate green space in an overdeveloped area that had fallen into decline. In 1982, prompted by the unsightliness of rubble-filled lots, a committee of the 6th Street A-B Block Association petitioned the City’s Operation Green Thumb for a lease to turn a 17,000 square foot site at Sixth Street and Avenue B into a community garden and began work on the space. The garden is a community gathering spot that is constantly hosting events like film festivals, children’s workshops, and musical performances.
