our garden grows in brooklyn

We were given some great plants via Alessandra Galletti, a landscaper architect who works for PPS and as a free lancer and Stephen Hanson, one of our gardeners.

We received four big azaleas, two large conifers - a Mungo pine and a Norfolk - and some pretty shrubs. Yesterday morning a crew of three people cleaned the area under the tree in bed #8 (see map), shoveled some compost from bed #3 in a barrel and planted two azaleas. We watered them and later the rain helped settle everything in. 

There is more to plant. Do you feel ready for a work out as you beautify your garden? Join us - Sunday 17 - in the afternoon. Comment on this post if you want to put your name in.
