Tree Layout and Irrigation System Design

The Garden Committee met last Tuesday to review the updated designs. Here's what the group decided on:

Layout for 30 trees


Irrigation System Layout


Above Ground Sprinkler System


With the key decisions finally made, Helen was able to submit the grant application to Lowe's for the new irrigation system. And MillionTreesNYC should have everything they need to start work on getting the trees planted.

Hopefully we'll get the grant in a few months and then install a new irrigation system. Until then we will just have to keep watering manually. Susan says that the new trees will need consistent and thorough watering, at least once and maybe twice a week if it doesn't rain. We will have to keep doing that through the fall so they are hydrated when the ground freezes in the Winter. Adding mulch will help too.
