Luxuriant growth on Winter Honeysuckle during drought

 This plant has not looked so full and green in the many years I have watched it grow. While all around leaves are withering, it is unexpectedly lush. 

Just wanted to share as I often post images of it here (see March 19, 2024).

After! Mulch Day 2024

After mulch was added to the Isham family memorial garden, the PTE rose garden, the "new" garden, the PTW sidewalk margin garden, and the north lawn garden.

We also watered the mulch once in place. The small pile shown in this photo will be used up this week.

Thank you again to all those at NYRP, NYC PFP, & NYC Parks and especially the VIP group who made Mulch Day possible during this historic drought!

 Here's the Fall 2024 Mulch pile, delivered by New York Restoration Project to the sidewalk outside the park.

Special thanks to the NYC Partnerships for Parks, New York Restoration Project, and NYC Parks!

Meet us at the PTE circle next to the rose garden in Isham Park today between 9am-12 noon!

Fall Mulch Day in Isham Park

 

This Saturday, October 26th, from 9:am to 12 noon, Volunteers for Isham Park is hosting a mulch day for the parks upper gardens. Thank you to New York Restoration Project for suppling mulch!

Find us at the Park Terrace East circle entrance at the west end of the rose garden. Mulch will be delivered there. As soon as it is, we will post a photo here. We will have our wheel barrow and tools at that spot as well.

We will begin with the Isham Family Memorial Terrace Garden and branch out from there.  We will also water as we mulch, as it is so very dry after many weeks of little to no rain.

Saturday May 18, 2024 "It's My Park Day" in Isham Park

Mulch arrived this morning in Isham Park! After a week of traffic woes! 

(Construction on the Hurst House, Columbia graduation ceremonies,DOT resurfacing on Seaman Avenue to name a few major traffic issues locally.)

So tomorrow: Saturday May 18, 2024 is now once again: It's My Park Day in Isham Park.

Meet at the Park Terrace East traffic circle entance to Isham Park. 9:00am - 12 noon, we will mulch the new garden & plant flowers the Partnmerships for Parks delivers to us.

A Robin landed on the mulch right after it was delivered!

Spring Equinox 2024

 Today is Tuesday March 19, 2024. Parks tells us today is the spring equinox for 2024.

Many blooms seem early to Isham Park visitors but it is now officially spring!

Look familiar? 

Once again NYC Partnerships for Parks has designated this coming Sunday October 22nd as:

Please come help out from 9:00am to 12 noon to assist with weeding and mulching the gardens all around the park for the winter. We will also transfer a few shrubs to fill in some gaps and plant some bulbs.
