In addition, they held their long-awaited Green Ribbon-Cutting to a beautiful garden spot which was a derelict plot of land as recently as last spring.
The all-day block party celebration included live entertainment & DJ, food, and games and the participation of representatives from the NYC Deputy Commissioner of Parks & Recreation, Councilman Al Vann’s office, Garden Sponsors Citizens of Committee of NYC, Lowe’s managers and employees, among others by the Awards Ceremony which starts at 4PM.
