Arts in the Gardens will put on music, poetry, dance, film and performances at four community gardens in Bed Stuy and Gowanus this summer. The gardens were created or upgraded with funds from the New York Restoration Project, which is one of the partners in the series, along with the Brooklyn Academy of Music and the Bronx Museum of Science, said a story in The New York Times.

Architectural Digest has before and after photos of eight of the New York Restoration Project gardens, including four in Bed Stuy, Carroll Gardens, Bushwick and East New York. Pictured above is the Cooper Street Community Garden in Bushwick, which was spruced up about a year or two ago with new hardscaping, benches and plantings.

There will be a day of jazz and blues in the Jane Bailey Memorial Garden at 327-329 Greene Avenue in Bed Stuy on June 14. On July 7, the same garden will host a hip hop dance event. For the complete calendar of events, check out NYRP’s website.
