CDCG is a private, nonprofit organization that manages 46 cooperative gardens in Albany, Schenectady and Rensselaer Counties, plants hundreds of city street trees annually, and works with individuals, organizations and municipalities to make our cities greener places to live and work. CDCG is also dedicated to making healthy fruits and vegetables more available to those in lower income, inner-city neighborhoods through The Veggie Mobile and Squash Hunger program.
