Park Caretaker Amando Flores is busy preparing for cold weather and the holidays.  He describes some of the work below:

• Removing begonias from 41 tree gardens surrounding the Park
   
• Planting over 30,000 bulbs throughout the Park including a variety of: tulips, daffodils, mini daffodils, alliums, bluebells, crocuses, grape hyacinths, etc
   
• Gathering 75 bags of leaves daily
    
• Winterizing plants - applying fertilizer, mulch
   
• Shutting down Park irrigation system to keep pipes from freezing, bursting
    
• Continuing to clean sidewalks - Until a few years ago, caretakers were unable to hose sidewalks because of the water shutdown. Since then we have separated our water lines to allow them to do so.  
   
• Thursday, 12/1 - Park Christmas tree arrives
