Ready For Spring Planting?  Are You Ready For ….

Plantstock II!

Plantstock II 11 AM -2 PM April 20th at  H.O.G., is a gathering of native plant growers and non-profits dedicated to restoring native habitat in their respective communities.   There will be native plants for sale as well as art and apparel inspired by local nature.  Hear from and meet

For 25 years, H.O.G. has served as a local farm/coop, and a community gathering place.   We are delighted that with them we are bringing together the plant people together with the vegetable people.

At Plantstock:

• Learn about The Dirty Dozen 
• Hear about The Thousand Yards Campaign in Bellport
• Then there is The Thousand More Yards Campaign in Brookhaven

There is so much that needs to be done on Long Island.  We must preserve what habitats we have, and restore what we can, and in every community.   Our local wildlife is depending upon us to plant native, and that can start with your spring planting.

Let us leave a living legacy here on Long Island for future generations.

And let’s have some fun while we’re at it!
