It's that time of year: NYC Mulchfest is happening this weekend!
I visited Tompkins Square Park to catch the fresh mulching this morning. This is my 15th year in attendance.
I think this may be the warmest Mulchfest I can remember - the temp was near 50°F, much higher than normal for January.
The mood was festive as park department employees tossed the old holiday trees into the chipper.
Some live action video:
What the videos and photos do not convey is the heavenly scent of evergreen. I'm sure the scent will linger in the park for days.
Chipping will continue in Tompkins Square on Sunday, as well as in several other locations around the city, which you can find here.
