Garden in Transit Coming To New York This Fall



This Fall, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of New York’s first motorized taxi, over 13,000 New York City yellow taxicabs will be covered with bright, colorful flowers. It's all part of "Garden in Transit", a massive public art project funded by Portraits of Hope, a non-profit arts, education and creative therapy program.

Starting last September, New York city school children from local hospitals, after-school programs, and recreation centers have been painting colorful flowers onto self-adhesive stickers that will then be affixed on yellow taxicabs beginning this coming September.
