Life in and around Hell’s Kitchen, NYC
The Oasis Community Garden on W 52nd St is having a clean-up weekend this weekend, from 11am-3pm. If you want to get involved with the garden or just lend a hand, head on over tomorrow for the second day of gardening.
The cooling weather won’t do the various gardens in the area any favors, so it’s a good time to get them ready. Here’s the Oasis garden back at the start of summer, for comparison.
The weather’s been less-than-ideal today for gardening, but the Daffodil Planting Day/Adopt-a-Pedestrian-Island Day (previously) still went ahead today.
The turnout wasn’t too great – the weather combined with the location out at 36th & Dyer didn’t help – but there were people working on some of the pedestrian islands, which should look very nice when they finish. Hopefully the flowers take hold before winter hits.
CHEKPEDS and the Hell’s Kitchen Neighborhood Association are running their annual Daffodil Planting Day on Sunday, where they’ll be planting hundreds of daffodils, as well as giving you the chance to “adopt” your very own pedestrian island.
Here’s the flyer with the full details:
The day starts at midday at W 36th & Dyer Ave, and if you decide to adopt one of the pedestrian islands along the 9th Ave bike path, you’ll even get free trowels and plants!
