HARLEM, Manhattan — More green space is coming to the Polo Grounds Towers in Harlem.

It’s all thanks to a group who call themselves the “Harlem Garden Ladies.” They are over a dozen moms and grandmas with their families creating more green space at their NYCHA development.

“There's a lot of positives but you never hear about it. We have more good here than negative,” said Barbara Williams, who lives at the Polo Grounds Towers and started a neighborhood garden four years ago.
