The greening of Boerum Hill goes into high gear on Saturday, April 29, when residents from blocks across the neighborhood take to the streets to clean and mulch the tree pits on their blocks, spruce up their front gardens and fill their window boxes. Sponsored by the Boerum Hill Association, the day begins at 9 am when Borough President Marty Markowitz kicks off the festivities in the Mugavero Center parking lot.

Once again, there will be free wood chips and compost, so residents are reminded to bring extra-strong trash bags to carry it back to their blocks. Coffee and bagels will be available for all. Information will be available on tree pit care, tree pit planting, window boxes, street-hardy plants, etc.

As always, Greening Day coincides with the Annual Hoyt Street Association Plant Sale.
