The West Side Community Garden will hold its annual tulip festival starting this weekend at the garden on 89th Street between Amsterdam Avenue and Columbus. The garden has an astounding 13,000 tulips, and flowering trees too.
Volunteers will be there to answer questions and hand out materials and Garden event schedules for 2018. There will also be walking tours by WSCG’s Chief Horticulturalist Tom Thies.

Our primary goal is to create a safe and respectful space where a broad spectrum of voices can be heard. We welcome diverse viewpoints and encourage readers to engage critically with one another’s ideas, but never at the expense of civility. Disagreement is expected—even encouraged—but it must be expressed with care and consideration. Comments that take cheap shots, escalate conflict, or veer into ideological warfare detract from the constructive spirit we aim to cultivate.

How gorgeous! And a lot of work for volunteers. Thank you very, very much. Gardens like this help to make the City true communities, as well.
Thank goodness for Community Gardens!

“This weekend” wasn’t the weekend. Most still hadn’t bloomed. Maybe next weekend.
