10am-noon Workshop: Gardening with Native Plants (facilitated by Claudia Knab-Vispo and Josie Laing)
The lightly-managed garden around FEP’s home at the Creekhouse features many native pollinator plants and can serve as an example of a rewilding residential landscape
During this workshop, you will have the opportunity to:
- See examples of perennial beds of different ages, a meadow developing from a former lawn, a dry meadow, a wet meadow, a woodland, and a natural “water garden,” and learn how we manage these areas.
- Get to know our easily-grown native pollinator plants.
- Learn about our experience with the establishment, monitoring, and maintenance of native meadows at a variety of locations in the Hudson Valley.
- Bring your questions and discuss different native plant gardening scenarios.
- Take home seeds and small potted plants from our pop-up native nursery.
Registration requested (fep@hawthornevalleyfarm.org), but walk-ins are welcome.
