MOTIVATION: secret garden.
Discovered this little gem of a public space this weekend tucked away on E. 6th St between Ave A & B. I freakin’ love my neighborhood. It was the perfect place to enjoy Lula’s (soy) ice cream with an old friend. We got kicked out after a bit to make way for a wedding that had reserved the space. But how cute is this?! Seriously, New York, try to tone down the adorability factor. You’re gonna lose your edge.
Oh and PS? It’s called the Creative Little Garden. I mean, honestly. It’s basically a park that hugs you back.

Located at 530 East Sixth Street, between Avenues A & B, the Creative Little Garden has been an oasis of tranquility in New York’s East Village since 1978. It’s a “community backyard,” maintained by volunteers from the surrounding neighborhood. There are no plots tended by individual gardeners, instead members collaborate on the landscaping of the whole park. Everyone, not only members, can relax, read, have lunch, work on your laptop or just enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of our garden…or you can hold a scheduled private event.
Must go here someday.
