Friday was a spectacularly beautiful day in Cadman Plaza Park. Everyone was joyful, brilliant blue sky, warm sunshine and it was 70 degrees! It was extra special because the Girl Scouts returned enhancing the park with their enthusiasm. They planted 800 daffodil bulbs in the planters surrounding the athletic field and also around the Brooklyn War Memorial. We extend a heartfelt thank you to the wonderful Debbie Keim for her loving leadership, to the AMAZING Girl Scout troops and their families for a fun filled afternoon. We appreciate your hard work and support, planting in Cadman!! THANK YOU!!

The Service Collective
The Cadman Park Conservancy extends a heartfelt thank you to last Tuesday afternoon‘s The Service Collective Community Club volunteers! This is a very special group of students, meeting weekly, enriching their community in many ways. The Conservancy was delighted that this group spent some time working in Cadman. The Service Collective Community Club made a tremendous impact weeding and composting the areas around the flagpoles prominently in front of the Brooklyn War Memorial. NYC Parks Department Gardener 1, Jessica Kulig is helping to plan the planting of these areas when the volunteers return to plant in the next couple of weeks. There are already thousands of daffodil bulbs planted around the flagpoles by past St. Francis College volunteers. The planned cultivation of these sites will have a tremendous impact enhancing Cadman Plaza Park and the Brooklyn War Memorial. We’re looking forward to The Service Collective Community Club’s return to plant the areas they’ve prepared!
