Happy #FlowerFriday! What's the difference between

Happy #FlowerFriday! What's the difference between Brown-eyed susans (pictured here) and Black-eyed susans you ask? Brown-eyed susans (Rudbeckia triloba) flower a bit later in the season and bloom for a longer period of time, and have smaller blooms than Black-eyed susans. Stop by the Naval Cemetery Landscape (at 63 Williamsburg St W) to check out these friendly blooms over the next few weeks!

Greenway Garden Party tickets are open. Come mingl

Greenway Garden Party tickets are open. Come mingle and mix in the NCL meadow as we celebrate BGI's momentum! Because there’s a lot to celebrate this year! We collaborated with NYC Agencies on the Red Hook Coastal Resiliency project; hosted the NYC Greenways Summit with elected officials, planners, and advocates; worked with City Councilmembers to develop Greenway Master Plan legislation expected to pass this fall; helped secure $47 million for greenways in Brooklyn and Queens; and worked with NYC agencies to rally support from NYC’s Congressional Delegation that helped win $7.4 million RAISE grant from the federal government for greenway planning. Join us at the Naval Cemetery Landscape to keep the momentum rolling. The ticket link is in our bio.
