Mr. Tony Hillery of Harlem Grown

We are thrilled to announce the return of our dear friend and school garden champion, Mr. Tony Hillery of Harlem Grown! Famous urban farmer, educator, mentor, children’s author, and Humans of New York hero, Mr. Tony is promoting the new ‘Harlem Grown’ book coming out this year and the Grand Opening of their 14th urban farm this Spring!

Mr. Hillery started with one school garden, and years later now oversees thirteen working urban farms in NYC. Founded in 2011, the Harlem Grown organization operates local urban farms, increases access to and knowledge of healthy food for Harlem residents, and provides garden-based development programs to Harlem youth.
