Closing Bell: Bed Stuy Beautification Over Weekend

Yesterday, the Bridge Street Development Corporation and the Bedford-Stuyvesant Youth Education and Safety Task Force held the Flower Bed-Stuy Day, a daylong beautification event. Residents came together to sweep sidewalks, remove dead brush, clean up trash, and plant trees and flowers along dozens of blocks. Participating groups also received two flats of plants and gardening tools for courtyard gardens. More than 50 of Bed Stuy’s block and tenant associations participated.
