facts we had learned along the way...

farming at washington square park:
















A very exited things we learned was that it was the 100th aneversity for the park :) around there (1870)
we also learned that the mounts are going to be build.
we had planted our stuff three weeks before the new park opened.
and also from that day, about three weeks ago, at the NYU  building they had a hawk who had a little one and there was something wrong with it and they both had to go together because it needed its mother.  
they are also have little dog run every year which i did not know about, i think its pretty cool.


the hanging tree



the first organic tulops planted at the park




                                        another nice things they do it, put new flowers every season.

they also finally got the first organic tulops planted in the U.S  
there was also a very interesting tree, it was called the hanging tree, it was about 300 years ago, it was said that many were hanged form that tree, but there was never any real profe of that.
there was also many green grasses and when ever people walk on it it would not grow, or when it was shaded, i found that very surprising because i really did not know that. so they tryed to plan more green grass.


another crazy thing that i have found out was that in 1775, 20 thousand people were found baried at the park.
they were baried, and some were found with headstones, but some were just baried, and they had to avoid the parts were they were baried. they had to remove alot because of the dead. they cut darn trees.







the expeirence at planting at washington was great, it really is a nice plance, it was the great place were we should have planted things for the childrens park, and i am glad that we did that, it was a nice thing to do.


this is what we had planted at the new park, me and my goup had worked very well together.
