The trees are coming!

BHSEC is soon to become the proud recipient of 30 trees from the MillionTreesNYC initiative that is a part of the New York Restoration Project (http://www.nyrp.org ). Here are some photos that they gave us of similar installations they have done in other schools.







Since there are long-term plans to expand the existing BHSEC building, the trees will be located where the old children's playground is today.





All that equipment is going to be removed (that may have already started actually) and then the trees will be planted in their place. Once that is done we hope to apply for a grant to construct an irrigation system to do away with the manual watering. Then the existing container garden will be relocated amongst the trees and in the immediate space in front of it.







Susan Welti has been kind enough to offer to put together a design for the new garden pro bono. So we're all really excited to see what it is going to look like! Stay tuned for more updates after this Wednesday where Susan will be presenting her proposals to Ray Peterson and the BHSEC Garden Committee.
