Game Day- Go find the Asters in Astoria Park!
Tag us!

Asters generally symbolize love, patience, wisdom, faith, and purity, taking their name from the Greek word aster, meaning “star” due to their star-shaped bloom.

Take a moment and consider what those words mean in your life. It’s easier to find patience and have faith in a garden. 🪴

22 volunteers joined us today even with the colder temps to get 1100 daffodil bulbs planted, as well as a few dozen allium. Cant wait to see everything bloom in the spring.

Thank you APA volunteers!
