On May 9, 2008, Goldman Sachs corporate volunteers assisted CENYC's Plant-A-Lot staff at a Lots-for-Tots playground adjacent to Little Sun People Too Child Care, located at 265 Marcus Garvey Blvd, in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn.  This will be the future site for a new KaBoom! sponsored playground in August 2008.  Photos of the day's work can be viewed here.

In 2006, Martha Stewart hosted a celebration of "Good Things" on September 30, where a silent auction of Martha Stewart Living magazine photographs was held from which $25,000 of the proceeds donated to the Council on the Environment of NYC, with a percentage going to the American Community Gardening Association (ACGA). Greening's donation of $25,000 from the silent auction helped renovate "Washington Carver Houses" community garden across from Mt. Sinai Hospital on 100th Street and Madison Avenue in East Harlem.

In collaboration with Organic Gardening Magazine and the magazines advertisers Aveeno & Natures Path, CENYC staff completed a new rainwater harvesting system (RWH) with a 1000 gallon tank at Diaz y Flores Community Garden in the lower east side of Manhattan and will be installing a RWH system at 1100 Bergen Street Community Garden in Crown Heights, Brooklyn.

OSGP staff continues to work with the Environmental Education staff on the Learn It, Grow It, Eat It program. Two gardens in the Morrisania neighborhood of the Bronx, the Jacquline Denise Davis Garden and the Wishing Well Garden have been planted with a variety of vegetables by high school students. This summer, 15 youths will be hired to maintain and harvest the produce and disseminate information on healthy eating in the community thanks to a grant from the Levitt Foundation.
