Weekly Gardening Group

Please join our volunteer gardening group led by NYC Parks Gardener II Anil Chandrakumar every Wednesday September 6th at 9:30

Meet at the Juneteenth gardens

A note from Anil:

Fall is almost upon us. I’ve always suggested the cooler temp season as the best time for planting.

Key points for our gardening session:

- Weeding garden bed prep

- Planting (Echinacea, Rudbeckia, Mountain Mint, Bee Balm, Butterfly Bushes, ornamental grasses) + Rose Mallow 

Ask Anil! Pollinator of the Week: 

Ask Anil! Pollinator of the week: Solidago rugosa ‘Firework’

Goldenrod:This plant gives sensational vibrant golden flowers that burst from the plant like ‘Fireworks’. The yellow flowers in late summer at a time when it’s hard to find many bloomers. A proficient seeder, expect to have many more stems of this in years to come than originally planted
