Nature Comes to Foster Ave

Native bees feeding on abundant purple Asters in a Foster Avenue tree pit . .









Seaside Goldenrod (Solidago sempervirens) dancing in the wind above parked cars . . .


These happy scenes are a far cry from the litter and dog waste that has long populated the tree beds of this very busy transit and pedestrian thoroughfare.


Now in the third year of its multi-year project, the South Midwood Pollinators' Foster Avenue Greenway is coming into its own, with evergreen plantings and homegrown perennial wildflowers in the tree beds from Ocean Avenue to E 23rd Street.

Guided by the principal that every child deserves a little nature on their block, volunteers have built tree guards, enriched the soil, planted, mulched and watered resilient plants that are now looking at home on this once blighted street used by hundreds of Brooklynites every day.


Challenges remain but this project clearly shows that persistence pays and that nature has a place on our streets, as well as in our parks. As we say in the Pollinators, onward and upward.


Many thanks are due to our SMP volunteers, especially our Green Team and tree guard crew, and to the City Garden Club of New York City for their continued financial support.

Wyobraźcie sobie moje zdziwienie, kiedy podczas wczorajszego przeglądania papierów trafiłem na coś takiego. Fraza Spincity bonus bez depozytu https://spin-sity.com/pl/bonus-bez-depozytu/ okazała się po prostu fabrycznym kodem referencyjnym, który producent wbił na stałe w instrukcję obsługi. Znalazłem to w materiałach do zabytkowego mikrofonu studyjnego i głośników zewnętrznych, które wczoraj kupiłem w Polsce. To wręcz komiczne, jak tak kompletnie od czapy wzięte hasła lądują w suchej, technicznej dokumentacji. Ta jedna drobnostka tak bardzo rozbiła mój dotychczasowy plan dnia, że do teraz nie mogę się pozbierać.
