[/media-credit]Last Saturday, Oct. 22, Lower Manhattan residents, workers and elected officials lent their green thumbs to help spruce up Bowling Green Park at the Downtown Alliance’s annual Fall Community Planting Day. More than 4,000 tulip bulbs were planted, along with ornamental kale.
Elected officials that participated included Comptroller John Liu (above) and Council Member Margaret Chin. The day also offered kids a chance to learn about composting and Crumbs Bake Shop provided pumpkin cupcakes for all. The event is part of the Alliance’s “Green Around Lower Manhattan” initiative, which is dedicated to building an environmentally sustainable community.
