Such a cold day but there, miraculously, were flowers blooming overhead. Overhead you ask? Are you a worm finding your way from the cold earth? Why, No! I exclaim!
Throughout Central Park are beautful Urns filled and cared for by
The Central Park Conservancy, a public-private partnership which, since its founding in 1980 has raised over $470 million from private sources and oversees another $110 million in City funding.
Miraculously, indeed, "Conservancy crews care for 250 acres of lawns, 24,000 trees, 150 acres of lakes and streams and 80 acres of woodlands; install hundreds of thousands of plantings annually, including bulbs, shrubs, flowers and trees; maintain 9,000 benches, 26 ballfields and 21 playgrounds; preserve 55 sculptures and monuments, as well as 36 bridges; remove graffiti within 24 hours; collect over 5 million pounds of trash a year; and provide horticultural support to City parks."
