We are excited to bring you a wide range of events that support our mission to promote environmentally sound landscaping practices and the preservation, restoration, and establishment of native plant communities in the Metro region of New York. Our events include chapter meetings, local clean-ups, planting days, education-based events, community events and hearings, and more.
We invite you to join us in learning about and supporting the use of native plants to create healthy habitats for birds, butterflies, and other wildlife. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or a community member, our events offer something for everyone. Check back often for updates and new events, sign up for our newsletter so you receive all event dates and details; and we look forward to seeing you there!
