Thank you to everyone who joined and supported our Women’s Lunch. “The Shared Table” was a fitting theme for an afternoon centered on connection, conversation, and community. Together, we enjoyed a meaningful discussion led by an inspiring panel while also raising support for the future of our Education Center.
A special note of gratitude to our corporate sponsors: @ellistonpediatrics , @j.o.law , @wearekroll , @lowensteinllp , @skadden_arps , and @teamwildingwoods . Plus, our wonderful in-kind supporters, @cloudydonuts , @electricladyflorals , @tachechocolate , @theroundsnyc , and everyone who contributed to this year’s gift bag and auction.
#WildlifeWednesday: #BrooklynBridgePark's Horticulture team has been working hard to create a habitat where specialist insects can thrive! One of the most recent discoveries in is the Spring Beauty Mining Bee (Andrena erigeniae), an uncommon bee in NYC which requires the pollen of spring beauty flowers, which are called Claytonia. Only emerging in the spring to mate & nest, this tiny bee remains underground beneath dry leaf litter or in lawns for the rest of its lifecycle.
Its presence is a testament to BBP's pesticide-free landscape and turf care and our dedication to the practice of “leaving the leaves.” 🍃🌸
