The Fordham Road Business Improvement District (BID) unveiled new evergreen shrubs, flowers and ground covers in outdoor containers at Muller Triangle on East Fordham Road and Creston Avenue at East 190th Street. Sustainable South Bronx’s Best Eco graduates assisted with the plantings earlier this month.
The BID will provide ongoing care and maintenance of the planters with daily watering and the Best Eco graduates will assist with pruning as needed.
The planter containers, soil and compost were made possible through a partnership with the NYC Department of Transportation and the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation. Monroe College also participated in sponsoring the project.

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
