The Hudson Yards Public Square - Connecting People and Plants to a Place
Channel: Hudson Yards
Date: 2015-07-22

With jet engines, super chilled roots, smart soil and advanced irrigation, the Hudson Yards Public Square will include 28,000 shrubs and 200-plus trees to create an urban oasis that will be visited by birds, bees and more than 24 million people every year. 

Like New Yorkers, our plants will be diverse in species and range in size. The large trees and expansive perennial gardens will be
home to migratory birds and pollinators. Wildflowers such as Echinacea, Monarda, and Rudbeckia will attract bees, butterflies and hummingbirds, while fruiting trees and shrubs including Serviceberry, Spicebush and Winterberry will attract birds such as Warblers, Sparrows and American Redstarts to Hudson Yards.
