It’s My Park Day

November 13, 2015 by Deirdre McAndrew

It's My Park Day

It’s My Park Day. Calling all gardening and flower lovers to Washington Market Park. This citywide celebration allows kids to test their skills or learn something new as they work in the park gardens. Park Gardner Richie will instruct children and adults on how to plant bulbs, flowers, and even how to work the soil. Gloves and towels will be provided, but bringing your own is appreciated.

NYC’s Department of Parks and Recreation welcomes the city residents twice a year to support their and celebrate their neighborhood park. Children will walk away with a knowledge of gardening after helping to plant thousands of bulbs this fall. This event is sponsored by The Friends of Washington Market Park. Dress for a mess!

The Friends of Washington Market Park is a non-profit neighborhood organization. They plan free public events in the park and supports park conservation and restoration. They are supported by NYC Department of Parks and Recreation as well as private contributions and donations.

Date: Saturday, November 14th [Read more…] about It’s My Park Day

One of our favorite traditions is displaying our h One of our favorite traditions is displaying our holiday cards on our wall. It’s been so fun to see pictures of our friends with their kids, their 4-legged pets or a beautiful card with no pictures and a note. The hard part is deciding when to take them down. In an effort to stay connected and to keep the conversation going with the kids, I think this year we will keep them up for a while longer. Connectivity is our theme for 2021 and grateful to see friends and family on our holiday wall this year. Any traditions we should know about for the new year? Please share!
