Wooster Square welcomes October!

 🍁 Hello October from Wooster Square! 🍁

As the calendar flips, Roxie the Blossom Blog Dog and I are wagging our way into fall with warm wishes for you and yours. The air is crisp, the leaves are turning, and the Square is alive with that golden glow that makes you want to linger just a little longer on your walk.

But even in this beauty, New Haven’s parks are feeling the strain. Another dry spell has settled in, and after the heat of summer, our city-bound green spaces are thirsty. Trees that shade our sidewalks, grass that cushions our picnics, and blossoms that brighten our spring all depend on the balance of rain and care. It’s a reminder that nature in the city is resilient, but not invincible — and that every season tells part of the story.

Roxie, of course, takes it all in stride. Whether she’s chasing a falling leaf, sniffing out the last traces of summer, or posing for her latest “Blossom Blog Dog” cameo, she reminds me that joy can be found in the small, everyday moments. And isn’t that what Wooster Square has always been about? A place where history, community, and nature weave together in ways that feel timeless.

And speaking of timeless… blossoms may be months away, but I can’t resist a little tease. Your friendly neighborhood Bloomologist (14 years running, 100% accurate*) will once again be keeping watch. My secret? No crystal ball, no fancy formulas — just showing up every day with a camera in hand. That way, when the cherry trees (ranked by National Geographic as one of the Top 10 cherry blossom spots in the world) hit their peak, you’ll know exactly when to head to Wooster Square.

So here’s to October: to cooler days, colorful walks, and the promise of blossoms yet to come. Stay tuned, stay curious, and stay blooming. 🌸🍂🐾
