Location

Brooklyn Botanic Garden Administration Building, 1000 Washington Avenue, Brooklyn, New York 11225

Trees thrive when they are part of a diverse, interconnected forest community of life above and below ground. Yet trees in cities must rely on people to co-create healthy urban ecosystems. As your street trees prepare to go dormant for the winter, learn best practices to help garden more like a forest, so that next spring your community’s trees can thrive. This workshop is being offered as part of City of Forest Day. Take home a native plant to try in your street tree bed!

ASL interpreter available upon request; contact community@bbg.org at least 2 weeks prior to the class date.
