    15 Years of Cultivating Community and Green Spaces in Central Brooklyn

    Flower Bed-Stuy 2025

    This spring, Bridge Street Development Corporation and The Bed-Stuy Works Alliance of Block and Resident Associations are proud to present the 15th Anniversary of Flower Bed-Stuy, a beloved community beautification and engagement initiative that continues to blossom year after year.


    On Saturday, May 3, 2025, we are celebrating this vibrant tradition at Quincy Senior Residences (625 Quincy Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221) from 9:30 AM to 2:00 PM, with a brief presentation beginning at 10:30 AM.


    Flower Bed-Stuy has grown into a powerful expression of neighborhood solidarity, civic pride, and environmental stewardship. This year’s event promises to be especially meaningful, with nearly 60 block, tenant, merchant associations, community gardens, and senior residences pre-registered to receive free flowers and other supplies.


    We encourage all participating associations to conduct sidewalk clean-ups and engage neighbors in planting, decorating, and reimagining shared spaces. The Department of Sanitation Tool Loan Program is also available for blocks conducting clean-ups.


    We are especially proud of the growth of Flower Crown Heights, now in its third year, and the continued involvement of newly formed merchant associations along key business corridors. The participation of youth volunteers from MYBASE continues to reinforce the role of young people in building healthier, greener neighborhoods.


    This year, we also commemorate and spotlight the long-standing partner block associations who have participated in Flower Bed-Stuy for over a decade. Their enduring leadership has been essential in transforming our blocks into green spaces for families, elders, and city wildlife.


    This event is made possible with generous support from our sponsors, including Con Edison, Dial-A-Teacher, and Council Member Chi Osse (36th District).
    If you’re interested in witnessing the transformation first-hand, we would be happy to arrange a guided walking tour of participating blocks.
