Are you passionate about preserving and celebrating the beauty of native plants? Join our Environmental Gardening Group (EGG), where we come together to explore, learn, and advocate for the vital role native plants play in our ecosystems.
Our mission is to:
Foster an appreciation for native plant species.
Promote sustainable gardening and landscaping practices.
Support pollinators and wildlife by cultivating native habitats.
Share resources, knowledge, and plant materials.
Create a community and have fun together.
Whether you’re a seasoned native plant enthusiast or just curious to learn more, everyone is welcome! A native garden only needs to be 75% native so everyone with mom’s peony bush need not worry…..non-natives are welcome. Together, we can make a difference for our local environment.
Activities:
Educational talks and workshops
Plant swaps and seed exchanges
Nature walks and garden tours
