Photographing NYC's community gardens

WNYC News | Sep 1, 2023

Brooklyn-based photographer Zachary Schulman is capturing portraits of some of New York City's community gardeners. It's part of the "Community Gardener Portrait Project" put on in part by the Brooklyn Arts Council.  

When Schulman shoots, he focuses his camera on gardeners who have saved plots of land from abandonment. Like Marlene Wilkes who helps run the Hands and Heart Garden in East New York, Brooklyn.
