New York Botanical Garden will be celebrating its annual Garden Party on Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 10, with a virtual Azalea Garden tour, and is inviting people to share greetings and memories of their moms during a Facebook Watch Party.

The community is invited to join the Facebook Watch Party featuring a virtual tour of the garden’s spectacular Maureen K. Chilton Azalea Garden which is in peak bloom, and will also include personalized Mother’s Day greetings from the Garden’s members and patrons.

People are encouraged to show their love for their moms with fun at-home activities for the whole family such as crafting whimsical paper flowers, making a memorable card by coloring a botanical image from the garden’s collections, and enjoying a festive Spotify playlist for the occasion.

Personal greetings and memories of all moms can be shared during the Facebook Watch Party in the comments section.

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.
