Colin Moynihan of the NY Times used the garden inaugural as an opportunity to look at the history of Umbrella House and how we self-manage in Umbrella House: East Village Co-op Run by Former Squatters.

For Bedford + Bowery Nicole Disser focused more on the garden itself in From Squat to Rooftop Squash: A New Garden Blooms at Umbrella House.

Inhabit NYC, a website dedicated to green and sustainable design and architecture, wrote about the garden: Beautiful and bountiful rooftop garden grows atop former LES squat.

EV Grieve announced the garden open house, as did Bowery Boogie.
