Plant Sale Fundraiser at the Beach 91st Street Community Garden!
This Saturday, May 17, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., visit the Beach 91st Street Community Garden for our Plant Sale Fundraiser! Soak in the spring, connect with neighbors, and make a day of it.
We’ll have a mix of plants to inspire your garden. There will be veggie starters and culinary herbs, perennials, including walker’s low, autumn joy, milkweed, daylily, and coastal grasses. We’ve also got some houseplants and garden pots!
Adding to the fun this year:
- Holland Ave Soap Co. (@hollandavesoapco) will be on-site, offering ocean-inspired cold-process bar soaps—some made with purified seawater, others infused with herbs grown right here at the Beach 91st Garden. Clean, coastal, and handcrafted by our leadership member, Mike Benigno.

- Dengo Botanica (@dengobotanica) will bring their botanical treasures—plant-powered skincare rooted in Brazilian traditions. Each product is handcrafted with herbs, flowers, and intention to naturally nourish both skin and spirit.

- Bella’s Lemonade Stand – run by the young entrepreneur, offering fresh, tart lemonade served with a bright smile!
Stay awhile, bring a picnic, and spend a relaxed afternoon in the garden. It’s a great chance to meet new neighbors, catch up with friends, and enjoy the calm, surrounded by plants, birds, and community magic.
Proceeds from the fundraiser go toward enhancing the garden’s infrastructure and supporting our community events and educational programming. The Beach 91st Street Community Garden is grateful for the continued support from our neighbors and the greater Rockaway community.
