Planting Bioswales for NYC

Hi All! We finally completed the planting of Bioswales in Maspeth, Queens. In case everyone doesn't know what a bioswale is......."They are landscape elements designed to concentrate or remove silt and pollution from surface runoff water. They consist of a swaled drainage course with gently sloped sides (less then 6%) and filled with vegetation and compost." 

 These are photos of the Bioswales we planted for the City of New York. They are not in bloom now but will be in the Spring. The covering you see in between the plants is called Jute Mesh. It helps with soil drainage and helps deter weed growth. We will post photos of them when blooming in the Spring! The City launched this project all around both residential and commercial areas to help with water drainage should there be excessive flooding and of course there is nothing better then looking at beautiful flowers as you walk along our wonderful NYC streets.

The Bioswales that we planted for the City of New York were filled with various perennials: flowering shrubs & grasses; to name a few.....

    Consuming the tea after meal will help in breaking down starches and sugar. Consequently, it’ll aid you in weight loss. Drinking the tea can also increase satiety which is especially important if you’re on a diet. Moreover, hibiscus tea is a diuretic, so it elevates the rate of urination. The less fluid you’ll retain, the less bloated you’ll look.
