🌿 Join the Conservancy's Wednesday Morning Gardening Volunteers! 🌿

All are welcome—come lend a hand, meet fellow park lovers, and help care for Cadman Park!

A note from NYC Parks Gardener Nathan Grozan:

Tomorrow we'll be working in the Juneteenth beds, continuing summer garden maintenance with weeding and tidying the beds and edges. We'll also split up to prune the yews and weed their surrounding beds.

📍 Meet at the Juneteenth beds at 9:30 AM.

Nathan will be there with wheelbarrows and tools ready to go!

We hope you'll join us! No experience necessary—just bring yourself and a willingness to get your hands a little dirty. 🌱

Every Wednesday, 9:30-11:30 AM All are welcome to join us!

NYC Parks Gardener Nathan Grozan leads our Wednesday morning volunteers, helping make a visible difference throughout Cadman Park—especially in the Juneteenth Grove.

Come lend a hand, meet your neighbors, and help us continue to grow and care for our park! 🌱

Tomorrow morning, the group will continue work from last week at the north end of the park.

Nathan says: “I want us to focus on weeding and clearing the areas along the front fence in preparation for mulching. We’ll be looking for the usual weedy suspects, as well as clearing any large amounts of leaves and branches.

Meet me tomorrow at 9:30 AM at the north end of Cadman Park, opposite the Juneteenth beds. You’ll see me near the statue with tools and wheelbarrows.”

Meet NYC Parks Gardener Nathan Grozan for a rewarding morning of gardening.  We hope you'll join us in caring for the park's plants and gardens!

Tomorrow morning, we’ll be meeting at the north end of the park and working in the “Shady Walk” near the Brooklyn Bridge entrance.

There are several sections throughout this large bed that need weeding. We’ll be focusing on bindweed, thistle, and dogbane, and Nathan will point out the plants and let us know which areas to tackle.

There are also a few yew-pruning projects on that side of the park for anyone who would like to take a break from weeding and try something different.

See everyone tomorrow at 9:30 a.m. at the north end of the park (the opposite end of the park from the Juneteenth beds)!

It may still be summer, but some of the open spaces in the park are already beginning to look a bit like fall!

If you've noticed bark scattered beneath the London plane trees, there's no cause for concern.  These remarkable trees naturally shed their bark as part of their growth cycle, and periods of intense heat can make this process even more noticeable.  It's one of the ways they adapt and protect themselves during the summer months.
