Chapters in New York

Join conservation biologist Agatha Martello for a short, scenic hike at Massapequa Preserve. We’ll explore how your own garden connects to the natural areas around you, learn basic ecology tips you can use every day, and enjoy the beauty of the woods, birds, plants, and all. Bring your camera and your curiosity!

Meet at the sign on Merrick Road, Massapequa Preserve

What to bring: Water, closed-toe shoes, long sleeves/pants, camera (optional)

RSVP: [email protected]

Terrain: asphalt path + woodland trails with a few fallen trees and narrow spots. Family-friendly, but dress for the woods!

 The elm saplings have sprung up and the grass is creeping in.   Come join us for a fun evening of weeding.  Feel free to bring something to kneel on, gardening gloves, and weeding tools.  Please fill out this form to let us know if you plan to join. 

Hope to see you there!

Teatown is a 1,000-acre preserve with 230 species of native wildflowers. We will be visiting the two-acre Wildflower Island, a refuge that is home to an amazing array of wildflowers, trees, shrubs, ferns, grasses, sedges, and rushes. Because it is on an island, this two acre jewel has become a sanctuary for species that are now under huge pressure from our deer population. We will be led by volunteers through the winding trails to see what is in bloom and to learn more about this spectacular preserve. 

This event is free but requires registration. Information on the event will be shared with all who register.

What better way than to spend a Monday evening hobnobbing with fellow gardeners and shoring up the wood chips and brick edging to our lovely demonstration garden.  Jobs included are: Shoveling wood chips and transporting wheel barrels of chips,  adjusting  bricks and laying them on the edge.   Many hands make the work light.  Please fill out the form below to let us know that you plan to attend.  Hope to see you all there!
