MulchFest...Yippie!

Date: Saturday, January 10th - Sunday, January 11th
Time: 10:00am - 2:00pm
Location: Various City Parks
Cost: Free

It's so sad to walk down the street and see the skeletons of what were once glorious Christmas Trees discarded and forgotten by the roadside! Don't let this happen to your once beloved, living, breathing pine! Bring your tree to Mulchefest at local parks throughout the five boroughs where your tree can get chipped, brought home as mulch for your own garden and hopefully spawn new little trees! Click here for a full list of participating parks.
