On the way to the subway the other day I noticed three young men tearing up the concrete in front of the Chase Bank.
The Graham Triangle has been featured here before during a repair.
This time the plantings were being extended.
“Whatcha doin’?” I asked.
“Digging holes.”
“Uh...right. How come?”
“Trees.”
“Oh yeah?”
“Yeah.”
“Really? New trees? How many?”
“Six.”
“Oh wow, Cool.”
The Urban Garden Center, an offshoot from Dimitri’s Garden, have teamed up with the local non-profit Friend’s of Brook Park to plant 49 trees throughout Port Morris. We were fortunate enough to receive 6 of them right after the blizzard in front of the Chase Bank.
You can see a photo of them clearing the snow from the excavation here:
Now they are planted. They are Kwanzan Cherry trees.
These are the same pink cherries that bloom in Spring all around the reservoir in Central Park.
Pink in May in SoBro.
Awesome.
