Friends of Dag Hammarskjold Plaza is a non-profit organization dedicated to maintaining and enhancing the public garden located on East 47th Street between UN Plaza and 2nd Avenue in Manhattan. The park features the Katharine Hepburn Garden, a serene oasis amidst the skyscrapers of midtown Manhattan, designed by park architect George Vellonakis.
With a focus on preserving the park's original sycamore trees and incorporating shade-tolerant perennials, Friends of DHP actively engages the community through events, volunteer opportunities, and fundraising efforts to support the ongoing care and beautification of the park. Visitors can enjoy a nature trail, sculptures, and seasonal blooms while honoring the legacy of actress Katharine Hepburn, for whom the garden is named.
