Small Gardens, Big Impacts: Meet fellow plant lovers and hear Avalon Bunge speak at our first annual chapter meeting. 

Avalon will talk about stewarding biodiversity in yard-sized spaces, supporting pollinators, bird life, and our local ecosystem. Practical suggestions will be provided.

We'll cover the best native plants for beautiful blooms and berries in settings like home gardens, backyards and even containers. Add native perennials to your garden, convert a patch of lawn to wildflower meadow or plant a shrub that hosts caterpillars, feeds bees, and offers fruit to birds and people too! This presentation will draw from the Hudson Valley Pollinator Action Guide, your go-to resource for protecting threatened, locally native pollinator species, available free at pollinatehv.org. Bring your native garden questions for a lively discussion.

The first annual meeting of Wild Ones Mid-Hudson Valley will follow Avalon’s talk. You will learn more about our work and opportunities to get involved. Snacks and coffee available.

All are invited!

This is a free, public event at the Gardiner Library.

Registration is required.
