Events

Join us for an exciting opportunity to learn about the ecology and wildflowers of the Hawthorn Valley Farmscape Ecology Program in Ghent, NY. We’ll tour the wildflower plantings in the vegetable garden, explore the hedgerow plantings, and check out the intriguingly named beetle bank. The program, founded in 2003, conducts participatory research on aspects of the County’s ecology, history, and culture to stimulate exploration and build love and knowledge of the ecological and cultural fabric of a diverse Hudson Valley landscape. If you joined us for the tour of HV Farm Hub last year, you know that the team strives to understand how past and present agricultural land use has influenced the ecology of our current landscape. They look at how wild nature interacts with landscapes and farm production through the lives of pollinators and pest predators. You’re sure to be inspired and bring home some new ideas to try.

Registration is required with a limit of 20 people. Registration will be available closer to the event date. Subscribe to our monthly newsletter to receive program announcements. Carpooling for this event is encouraged. If you have any questions, please contact [email protected]
