Old cemetery in South Williamsburg might be turned into a garden

The Brooklyn Greenway Initiative, a local organization working to create 14 miles of mostly waterfront bike and pedestrian paths to connect Greenpoint to Bay Ridge, presented a project to turn this abandoned cemetery into a publicly accessible pollinator habitat – a wildflower meadow that would promote plant diversity in the area, according to The L Magazine.

The project would take into consideration the sacred character of the land, as it doesn’t require any majorly disturbing change; and would be integrated in the greenway that would link Brooklyn waterfront.
