June 11, 2019—A riot of color is blooming across New York City as we write. The occasion? #NYFlowerWeek, June 11-16, 2019, featuring a series of pop-up floral installations at some of Manhattan’s most iconic statues and plazas. The first installations appeared today and will be complete by June 12.

#NYFlowerWeek celebrates the announcement of a larger floral event, LEAF, a city-wide festival of flowers with all the grit, energy and vitality New York has to offer, coming to Manhattan in June 2020.

We cannot wait to see what LEAF has in store for us next year. In the meantime, here’s how you can celebrate #NYFlowerWeek this week.
