Liz Cristy, artist, environmentalist and gardener activist lived in the Lower East Side in the 1960's and 70's, promoting long lasting and healthy community green spaces in New York City. In 73' when she gathered several friends and community participants to clean out a vacant lot on the corner of Bowery and Houston, the
Green Gorillas were born, and so continued as the members proliferated other city owned lots initiating the community gardening movement in the City.
