🌱 PEACE GARDEN | SUMMER 2026
This summer marked our second collaboration with the Brownsville Community Justice and their youth, engaging NYC youth ages 14 to 24 through the Summer Youth Employment Program as part of our multiyear partnership with the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

Together, the youth cohort brought the Peace Garden to life through a youth driven Design / Build / Care process. Participants learned about placekeeping and the evolution of Osborn Plaza, collected inspiration for a garden space, researched native plants, and chose quotes and messages to display on a built planting bed.

The summer curriculum culminated in a planting bed prototype, designed and built by the youth and now living indoors at BCJC. This fall, Hive will return to build the second planting bed with BCJC’s Urban Agriculture youth cohort, bringing the project into its next phase. 🌿

Peace Garden moves youth beyond imagining public space to designing, building, and caring for it. Through hands on making and collective decision making, the project nurtures leadership, environmental stewardship, creative confidence, and a sense of ownership in the places young people help shape.

Because public space is not just something we design for communities. It is something we create with them. 🌱

The Brownsville Wellness Market was a three-part series created to uplift local entrepreneurs, promote wellness, and celebrate the creativity of the Brownsville community.

Hosted by Pitkin Avenue BID and designed by , with support from the NYC Health Department, the series featured free, multigenerational programming including yoga, sound healing, meditation, recreational cycling, high intensity fitness classes and healthy cooking demonstrations.

For three unforgettable days, Zion Triangle came alive, bringing neighbors together through movement, art, and wellness while supporting more than 20 local entrepreneurs. This video captures what wellness means to some of them and how the market created space for care, connection, and community support.

This summer we’re bringing that same partnership and energy into OPEN STREETS with fun incentives, wellness programming, and new reasons to keep coming back all summer long.

Let’s relive last summer’s magic. This is just the beginning. ✨💛🐝

🚇 Broadway Junction is one of Brooklyn’s major transit centers, sitting at the intersection of five subway lines, six bus routes, and the Long Island Rail Road. It is also the meeting point of six largely residential neighborhoods: Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brownsville, Bushwick, Cypress Hills, East New York, and Ocean Hill.

The Broadway Junction Plaza Project will transform the public realm around the Broadway Junction Station to create an attractive and welcoming gateway for the community, including commuters, workers, residents, and visitors. As an extension of the Callahan-Kelly Playground, the plaza will continue to shape an identity for the neighborhood, reimagine a busy intersection, and facilitate transit-oriented development to bring jobs, housing, and services to the area.

The project team is led by the NYC Economic Development Corporation NYCEDC. The Design team is led by Langan and includes Hargreaves Jones for design and Hive Public Space for community engagement.

And the best part? This project is shaped by YOU!🐝
🔔 Follow along and stay tuned a Community Workshop is coming soon!
