Planting Bulbs with Wave Hill and Council Member Arroyo

What a great day thanks to Wave Hill botancial garden in Riverdale. (wavehill.org)
That great local resource not only maintains an exquisite site on the cliffs of the Bronx overlooking the Hudson River, but they work to bring the green to communities like ours!

We worked with Wave Hill to organize a special Bulb Planting day, and they provided the bulbs, supplemental tools and connections with students from a country day school in riverdale. Teens working with Building with Books were also on hand to plant beauty for the Spring.

Council Member Arroyo and her chief of staff Joanne Otero planted bulbs with the youth and News 12 was on hand for a great interview. Thanks to Anne and Paulina for the pics!

"It was a perfect day for work in beautiful Brook Park in the Mott haven
section of the Bronx. Apparently Bronx News 12, who showed up to capture
the event thought so too! We had a great group of 26 volunteers from
Building With Books, the Fieldston School and the community. Among the
tasks accomplished were weeding, woodchipping, woodchopping,and bulb and
shrub planting."
