Welcome to some of the most distinctive and admired gardens in New York City, comprising more than two-thirds of an acre of walks, lawns, and a fine collection of garden standards, rare hybrids and native American flora. The gardens’ southwest orientation and heat-retaining brick walls create a warm micro-climate, allowing a wide variety of flora and fauna to thrive. This green space, with its abundance of berries and flowers, provides a small but important way-station for migrating birds and butterflies during the spring and fall seasons. Over 100 species of birds and 24 types of moths and butterflies have been recorded. The Church of St. Luke in the Fields welcomes the public to its private gardens, and is pleased to open them to the community as a place of respite. Food is allowed, but smoking and alcoholic beverages are not. Please refrain from cellphone conversations and from feeding the birds or squirrels. Dispose of your trash. The gardens are a pet-free zone; service dogs are not allowed on the South Lawn, for the sake of the children who play there.
