Say 'fir-well' to your tree and take part in NYC’s unique holiday tree-dition - Mulchfest! Drop your tree off at a participating park, and we will recycle and turn it into mulch for street trees across the city. 🎄Find locations at: on.nyc.gov/mulchfest

Had a blast reading for and writing this #Pelargonium cordifolium profile for @BrooklynBotanic , thinking a bit on origins of how garden plants become garden plants.

After a years-long battle and numerous development proposals, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and Continuum Companies have reached a deal that will protect the greenhouses from shadows and allow the developer’s Franklin Avenue project to move forward.

As the evenings fall darker, Brooklyn Botanic Garden's extravagant art, music, and light show is returning to brighten the borough's sprawling green space ahead of the holiday season. brooklynpaper.com/lightscape…

Did you know trees change color in autumn because chemical pigments inside their leaves change too? As the days get shorter, leaves produce less chlorophyll, the chemical that helps absorb sunlight & makes them green, allowing yellow, orange, & red pigments to show through!
