Supporters of urban parks and cultural spaces have long supported the garden's preservation. Charles A. Birnbaum, the president and chief executive of the Cultural Landscape Foundation, called for further protection for the site. “Let’s enshrine the saving of the Elizabeth Street Garden, a treasured cultural resource, by having the site listed in the National Register of Historic Places, which TCLF has advocated for many years, along with the protection afforded through city and state designations that recognize its significance,” he wrote in a statement.
