Welcome to Capital District Community Gardens (CDCG) of upstate New York. Established in 1975, CDCG is a private non-profit community service organization that has been helping residents of Albany, Rensselaer, and Schenectady Counties improve their neighborhoods through community gardening and urban greening programs for more than 30 years.

We’re dedicated to working with people to foster self-sufficiency through the rewards of gardening, helping families cut their living costs by growing food locally, transforming vacant lots into productive neighborhood garden spaces, and beautifying urban areas through landscaping and street tree programs.

With a full-time staff of seven, five part-time employees, plus interns and volunteers, CDCG manages 45 cooperative neighborhood food gardens in Albany, Cohoes, Latham, North Greenbush, Rensselaer, Schenectady, and Troy, in New York’s Capital Region. Capital District Community Gardens also organizes annual street tree plantings for the cities of Troy, Cohoes, Scotia, Green Island, and Rensselaer and works with local municipalities and nonprofit organizations to implement a wide range of urban greening projects, enhancing our region's cities.  Since April 2007, we have been operating the Veggie Mobile- a mobile produce market that is making fresh produce more affordable and accessible for low income, inner city residents in our region.
