Bob's Story

The tenement Museum offers tours of the neighborhood. SDR Park and the garden are always part of the tour. They recently interviewed Bob about his role in the park and the garden and produced this document called “At the Crossroads: A Portrait of 8 New York City Blocks and One Man“.

Remembering Joe Hubbard

Joe loved his Betty. And he loved their dogs. He loved the garden and he loved the flowers he so lovingly photographed. We remember Joe as the loyal, irascible, funny friend he was to so many of us.

Pete's Plaque

We finally mounted the memorial plaque for our old friend Pete Lambert on the wall in front of the BRC under the rose bush we planted there in his memory. Those who knew Pete will think of him and remember his kindness, humor, and dignity.

Turtles Leave for the Winter

With a lot of help from a little dog, Richard and I pumped down the pond over the weekend and pulled 13 turtles out. They will live indoors until spring. Our pond isn’t deep enough and lacks sufficient material in the bottom for them to burrow into for the winter.

The fish stay. They stop

Annual Ladybug Release

Every year with the help of the children, we release ladybugs into the garden. This Saturday, October 6, visit the garden with your children to help.
