Promenade Gardeners kick off spring Tuesday…brrrrr
Weed ’em and reap.
It’s been spring for over a month already, but it seems like Mother Nature finally got the message as the weather is improving and the flowers are starting to bloom. That means that the Brooklyn Heights Promenade gardeners are back to work.
Local volunteers and gardener Matthew Morrow meet every Tuesday morning throughout most of the spring, summer and part of the fall to help maintain the garden that stretches roughly one-third of a mile along the Brooklyn Heights Promenade. The group met for the first time this season on Tuesday, and Morrow already expressed confidence in this year’s garden.
“I think we got more done last year than I ever expected,” Morrow said. “We were successful in removing a lot of old shrubs and growth. Usually that is something that takes several years, but with all of the help that I’ve gotten, it really looks phenomenal. Looking back, I never expected to get that much done last year.”
