The NYC Parks Department dropped off mulch for our trees on 219th street on 10/22/2022 at 9am – and we want to thank you everyone who volunteered for all your hard work on the street trees by PS 278. The addition of mulch will help the trees grow better, improve the soil, and help keep water accessible for their roots. Planting bulbs will also make 218th street beautiful in the spring.
