“Our interns have been very helpful over the past few weeks. Each day we choose an area of priority around Cadman park and neighboring parks within the district. During the heat of the summer, our green spaces continue to grow and require care and attention. “

“Our daily routine is clearing gardens of invasive weeds, making a way for native perennials during the fall planting which tends to be a higher success establishment rate during the cooler season. “

“I’ve learned so much about these students from their educational expertise to their goals and future career pursuits. The biggest take away has been their love for the city, their desire to continue “soaking” in our urban oasis. They’ve even mentioned that it’s been enlightening and has opened their views on how many people use our parks for some many different uses. This summer they’re really learning the “Brooklyn Way” an inter-connective fabric between people and parks. “

The Cadman Park Conservancy celebrates the Juneteenth annual celebration of emancipation from slavery in the United States. By planting Cadman Plaza Park's Juneteenth Grove, NYC Parks recognized the need to be active agents for change, progress, and equity.

To acknowledge the second annual Juneteenth Federal Holiday the Conservancy is offering a poem from acclaimed poet Jacqueline Johnson.

On this Memorial Day, the Cadman Park Conservancy lays a wreath in honor and remembrance of the ultimate sacrifice by service members for our country. The Conservancy remains steadfast in our appreciation for their courage. We hold each service member and their families in our hearts with love and respect.

Thank you to all of our Earth Day Volunteers!

The Cadman Park Conservancy friends and neighbors enjoyed a sunny Earth Day in Cadman Plaza Park! Volunteers from St. Francis College, Packer High School, Plymouth Church and many more hard working community members, weeded and raked our Juneteenth Grove garden and Circle planter. The caretaking of our flower beds was a success in preparation for our mulching event scheduled for next Saturday morning. We planted on the east and west side, in shady areas of the park, an assortment of red, white and pink/lavender azaleas, blueish green hostas and an assortment of yellow, purple and lime green heucheras. A heartfelt thank you to our wonderful friends & gardeners, Conservancy board member Serhiy MShanetskiy and NYC Parks Department’s Anil Chandrakumar for their trek to the Long Island nurseries, selecting an exciting variety of plants and delivering them to the park for our event. Thank you to ALL all of our volunteers, we couldn’t have done it without you!!! We hope that you enjoyed our morning together as much as we did. We’re looking forward to watching our garden grow. Thank you Mother Earth for the predicted rain Saturday evening and Sunday, nourishing and establishing our day’s planting. We are grateful.
