    Plants: Native, Non-Native and Invasive at Hempstead Public Library April 23rd at 7!

    Hempstead Public Library 115 James A. Garner Way, Hempstead, NY, United States

    Long Island needs its native plants. Without them, we lose our local wildlife. Most of what is available for sale, however, are non-native. Non-native plants provide little sustenance for our local creatures. They weren't adapted to feed from them, that's our bees, or birds, or butterflies. Worse, we have to contend with invasive plants, some of which are still for sale here locally. Invasive plants actively destroy native habitat and hasten the departure of our local wildlife.

  • Plants: Native, Non-Native, and Invasive Saturday May 16th at Noon at Great Neck Public Library!

    Great Neck Public Library 159 Bayview Avenue, Great Neck, NY, United States

    When you plant native plants, you support local wildlife. We need a lot of native plants in our yards and our public spaces if we are to continue to experience the presence of local wildlife, in particular birds, butterflies, and bees. So find out what's native and what's non-native, and by all means, what's invasive.

    Plants: Native, Non-Native and Invasive. A Lecture Thursday July 9th at 6- 7:30 PM at The Bayshore / Brightwaters Public Library

    Bay Shore / Brightwaters Public Library 1 South Country Road, Brightwaters, United States

    Without native plants, local wildlife disappears. Our bees, butterflies, and birds have all evolved over eons to feed off of particular local plants. Our mission then is to restore native plants to our yards and our communities in order that we will have that wildlife among us for future generations.
