Residents will be distributing free window boxes and planters, as well as planting flowers and hand building wooden guards in street tree beds. Local residents and young children dressed as flowers will work on a street tree bed.

The beautification day is part of the Love Your (NYC) Block Campaign. The campaign is a partnership between neighborhood groups, Citizens Committee for New York City and NYC Service. As part of the campaign, the Dean Street Block Association received a cash grant along with direct support from the Departments of Parks, Sanitation, and Transportation. These city agencies worked with the block association on tree planting and cleaning up a city-owned lot.
