Want to learn about native plants and perennials and how to maintain a native plants garden?
Co-sponsored by the Rockland County Solid Waste Management Authority and The Rockland Farm Alliance
Interested in learning about native plants? The Native Plants Garden at the Solid Waste Management Authority in Hillburn hosts an amazing collection of native plants of the Northeast, right here in Rockland County! Through a partnership between the SWMA and the RFA, we are happy to offer a FREE workshop on how to prep, maintain and care for a native plants garden, led by perennial and native plants expert and landscape designer, Rebecca Gmucs. She will teach plant identification (weeds vs. perennial native plants), how to divide plants, weeding techniques, specific perennial care and good choices for local gardens. Rebecca will answer your questions regarding deer resistant, shade loving and sun loving plants as well.
You will also get to see the state-of-the-art greenhouse facility that houses the baby plants for the Cropsey Community Farm! As part of our partnership with the Rockland County Solid Waste Management Authority, The Rockland Farm Alliance was granted access to use the SWMA greenhouse for starting our seedlings for the farm. In return we will maintain their lovely native plants garden that is open to the public as a place to come and learn about and enjoy native plants of the Northeast. We are very grateful to the SWMA for the use of their beautiful greenhouse facility that has allowed us to start our seedlings in optimal conditions. Come help us show our appreciation and learn about how to care for native plants at the same time!
