The Jefferson Market Garden is situated on a triangular city block, this 0.4-acre garden has been under the care of community volunteers since its inception in 1974.
From 1931 to 1973 the Women’s House of Detention sat adjacent to the courthouse, on the site of the current garden. Upon the demolition of the prison, the site was transferred to the New York City
The initial plan by garden designer Pamela Berdan drew inspiration from Frederick Law Olmsted, Sr.’s work. Berdan is credited with designing a number of gardens in Greenwich Village during the 1970s and 1980s, including the Sheridan Square Viewing Garden and the garden at St. John’s in the Village Episcopal Church.
Tucked away in the shadow of the Jefferson Market Library, from April to October this beautiful, well-kept garden oasis is open to the public.
