You know we love a Spring moment and this year we really leaned into green!
If our annual District Satisfaction Survey taught us anything, it’s that you all love plants, and so do we – so we put in over 1,400 plants across the district this season!
Looking to the future, our plans include planting more perennials that will live in place, and bloom throughout the year, to create a more sustainable landscape throughout the whole district. We will begin this transition in stages and have started with 15 tree pits on Myrtle Avenue from Hall to Classon. You can find 920 new annuals dotting the pits on the northside of Myrtle, and they are stunning if we do say so ourselves 🙂 Year over year, we will continue to plant annuals until all 61 of Myrtle Avenue’s planted tree pits are filled with these beauties.
As we do every year, we partnered with The Horticulture Society of New York to plant the perennials and over 900 annuals in the tree pits between Flatbush Ave Ext and Hall.
Another exciting addition came to the Greenstreet triangle at Carlton and Myrtle. Known as Person’s Square, we wanted to bring even more life to this corner of the district and planted almost 300 new native plants in the two gardens there. Putting the green in Fort Greene!
Spring is also the time we bring back the furniture in the Myrtle Avenue Plaza, including our bright orange umbrellas that never cease to bring smiles as they brighten the space. As soon as the furniture came out we saw friends, classmates, co-workers, couples, and kids taking advantage by settling in for meals and cups of coffee from local businesses.
We continued to spark joy by cleaning up all the furniture and sidewalks with a good power washing, and clearing out any graffiti that popped up.
Now all that’s left to do is enjoy! 🍃

We invite neighbors to join us in supporting each other by taking action, learning, and advancing peace and justice.

Support and live out Myrtle Avenue’s Hate Has No Business Here message. When you see bias that disproportionately impacts people of color, speak and act. Learn more about issues like racial bias, systemic racism, white supremacy, and how these issues exist in our society, including here in our neighborhood.
We recommend visiting for introductory resources:
Our neighborhood was built by people who were enslaved because they were Black. Following 200+ years of State-sanctioned enslavement here, a new era of race-based segregation and discrimination began and it continues today in our neighborhood, with many policies and collective actions that place more limits on our Black neighbors than on non-Black residents. The effects of this are still with us and impact all of our lives on a daily basis. We invite all neighbors to acknowledge and learn about this fact-based history. For an intro to this topic, we recommend:
Everyone can benefit from a little extra patience, care, and kindness as we all experienced a heightened level of anxiety and stress from current events. Let’s take care of each other, neighbors.

For the tenth year, Myrtle Avenue Brooklyn Partnership is proud to present its annual Black Artstory Month arts series. Democracy’s Body will be a month-long series with visual art exhibition along Myrtle Avenue and events in Fort Greene, curated by Bre’Lynn Lombard of UnJaded Curations. The series is made possible with support from Tankhouse.
The Democracy’s Body visual exhibition of works will be up throughout February 2022 in storefront windows along Myrtle Avenue in Fort Greene & Clinton Hill, between Fort Greene Park & Classon Avenue.
“In Us We Trust” by Mz. Icar at Peck’s, 455A Myrtle
This year’s show is a constellation of jubilant, imaginative works by eight contemporary artists. Set as a mural walk, the artwork honors the liberating power that Black womxn’s intersecting identities afford them and their communities. From curator, Bre’Lynn Lombard:
“Through the process of Black radical reimagination, artists shift the narrative of “democratic” principles from being held by governmental structures to the people these structures can’t live without. Featured artists call audiences back to the essence of the Greek word; demos, meaning “the people” and kratia, meaning “power, rule.”
“The works on display illustrate a world where Black womxn are honored for their natural ability to create democratic spaces by simply being human. In a nation state that is founded on the relentless powers of race, patriarchy, class and socio-economic status; Black womxn defining their own beauty standards, being one with and cultivating their land, and being authentic to their creative practices and processes, create a world in which all people -who share in any one of these intersecting identities- have room to simply be themselves.”
