Native plants are all-important for the survival of our native and often endangered pollinators like bees, butterflies, and moths. We are excited to have partnered with the Native Plant Society of New Jersey to launch a free seed library where residents interested in planting pollinator-friendly gardens can pick up native plant seeds. So far, we have seeds from 16 different New Jersey native perennials and hope to grow the collection as the seed library matures.
We are also launching a series of gardening workshops designed to help new gardeners plan and plant their gardens. The first, to be held appropriately on Earth Day, will be led by members of the newly revived Morris County Chapter of NPSNJ.
