Promenade Gardens getting a modern makeover with WiFi
Volunteers gathered at the Promenade Gardens in Brooklyn Heights on Tuesday morning to pack new plants into the dirt, trim the brush and help solve the modern problem of bringing WiFi to the Promenade.
Among those problems are ways to place new plantings around the WiFi boxes to hide them. “Even though there is modern technology buried here,” said gardener and project manager Koren Volk, “we still want this to look like an old-fashioned, well-cared for public garden.”
Donations from Brooklyn Heights neighbors are needed to help provide those plantings. (Donations can be made at promenadegardenconservancy.org).
