Dimitri Gatanas Urban Garden Center NYC

Metropolitangardening.com interviews the Chief Designer of Urban Garden Center Dimitri Gatanas. Urban Garden Center in East Harlem NYC is located below a train trestle. The area is super noisy and faces challenges that would bury even the most seasoned. Dimitri Gatanas shows us how his small family owned business is growing with a smile. He covers the development of a community compost station, the addition of a chicken coop, and the creative use of limited sun. Dimitri tells us his Garden Center is "off the grid" meaning there's no gas or electric under the trestle. He urges us to remain involved in our communities and keep heritage alive by shopping local small business.
