Boosted by an article in TIME OUT Magazine, hundreds came to enjoy a blaze of spring tulips at the West Side Community Garden on Saturday, April 25, from 1-4 pm. Located at 89th Street, between Amsterdam and Columbus Avenues, the WSCG celebrated our 21st year of tulips in bloom. Guests saw more than 30 varieties of tulips, in a kaleidoscope of colors and variations.

Tea and homemade cookies were served, along with ice water for thirsty visitors. The Garden is proud of its service to the community; we are open every day of the year.

The Garden attracted many new members, new donors, and many professional photographers. One of them was Lee Snider. Some of his wonderful photos are below.
