As we all try to stay indoors as much as possible, it’s still turning into spring on the New York City streets. Luckily, you can still get a taste of the beautiful blooming trees of Astoria thanks to the NYC Parks Department!
NYC Parks just launched their Parks@Home campaign to help bring some of the outside indoors. Along with virtual meditations, exercises, educational programs and more, they’re also doing LIVE tours of the Parks with the Urban Park Rangers. And this Friday, they’re coming to Astoria!
Board Certified Master Arborist James Kaechele will be giving a LIVE tour of Astoria Street Trees in Bloom at about 11:30am tomorrow, April 9 on the Park’s Persicope/Twitter (@NYCParks), and Facebook Live (New York City Department of Parks & Recreation). James will be pointing out the Saucer Magnolias, Purple-Leaf Plums, Callery Pears, and Yoshino and Kwanzan cherries that are all blooming on the streets of Astoria.
Note: the tours are weather-dependent, but as of now it looks like a clear day.
