"Our first date was in the park in 2020. We got to-go drinks from Walter's and lost track of time chatting on a park bench. 2 years later, Sean and I moved in together in the neighborhood with our dog Mark. 4 years later, we ate at Walter’s again on the way to our friends’ baby shower, except it turned out to be a ruse. He proposed on the bench where we met." - Melina

“My friend Kirsten Miller passed away at the age of 35 due to stage 4 colon cancer. Kirsten was a beautiful soul, mother of a 3 year old daughter and had a beautiful wife. Purple was her favorite color so it was obvious when I saw I could donate asters in memory of someone in the park. I hope that when you see these asters, you could think of Kirsten.” - Katey

"Chad ‘Chaddychads’ Gittens was my brother, my soulmate, my twin flame. Life isn’t as bright since you’ve left us, but I promise you that I still spend every day with you. I’ve sprinkled some of your ashes in the flyest places we would have gone to together, just as you wished. Here’s to making more memories with you by my side, I love you Johnny.” — Sam Eliad

Each year, Fort Greene Park comes alive with vibrant blooms from February through October, creating a haven for pollinators and a joy for visitors. With our Love is in the Park campaign, you can make a donation or dedicate a plant or bench in honor of someone special—a gesture that will flourish for years to come.

Plant Dedications: Choose from spring bulbs like tulips, daffodils, and crocus; resilient hellebores; radiant asters; or lush hydrangeas. These blooms not only add beauty to the park but also play a vital role in supporting pollinators, contributing to a healthier ecosystem. While we can’t specify the exact location or species, your dedication will become part of the tapestry of life that makes the park so special.

Bench Dedications: Honor a loved one with a dedicated bench, a timeless spot where visitors can relax, reflect, and enjoy the natural beauty of Fort Greene Park. Single and double benches are available to celebrate enduring love, cherished memories, or heartfelt appreciation.

By participating in Love is in the Park, you’re giving a gift that nurtures love and community, supporting the Fort Greene Park Conservancy’s mission to nurture and maintain this treasured green space.

Dedicate your love today, and let it bloom in Fort Greene Park for years to come. 🌳💚
