The six tree beds in front of the Arias building, which is co-sponsoring the event, will be cultivated and planted; work tools from MillionTreesNYC (cultivators, spades, watering buckets) and gloves will be available, as will instruction on tree-bed maintenance. The Arias will be providing the plants for the tree beds and light refreshments for participants.
