NEW POCKET PARK IN WINDSOR TERRACE: SPRING PLANTING EVENT IN APRIL

Spring Planting
Saturday, April 11th
10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

A dedicated group of neighbors has been working industriously on creating Three Pillars Park, a new pocket park in Windsor Terrace. They hope to be able to open the park to the public by May 1st. 
 
Three Pillars Park lies at the intersection of Prospect and Greenwood avenues, across from the FDNY fire station, underneath the pedestrian overpass over the Prospect Expressway (Google map).
 
Among the volunteers are neighborhood residents Biana Varga, an urban naturalist, and Samuel Robinson and Line Kaasine, founders of Field Form, a landscape design and build firm that's built over 200 gardens in New York City.

The volunteers have already cleaned up the space, done an initial planting, and gotten the collapsed cobblestones repaired. Future plans include benches, art, and lighting. 

A spring planting is planned for Saturday, April 11th, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., to fill in the garden bed with more plants. Everyone is invited to join them in this neighborhood effort. Children are welcome to participate, with an adult supervising them. Bring gardening gloves with you, if you can.
 
Donations are requested to fund a protective low barrier around the garden bed. Donate at https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-three-pillars-park-in-windsor-terrace.
