Northport Native Garden Initiative Founder: Building Community to Restore Our Ecosystem
I wrote about the Northport Native Garden Initiative (NNGI) last year. Bottom line, this little group in this little village is doing AMAZING things to help folks think global and act local.
There isn’t much one person can do that is more beneficial to the environment than to tend to their own yards, and to help others tend to bigger plots when they can.
These folks — like increasing numbers of others on Long Island — are ready to help you do just that!
2023 Plant Sale!!!
The Northport Native Garden Initiative works hard to offer plants, shrubs, and trees that will look great while providing welcoming habitats for butterflies, insects, birds, and other animals.
Their online plant sale will run through April 24th. Order from their wide selection here
Plant pick-up will be on May 6th, 2023 from 9:30am – 4:00pm at a Northport Village location that is yet to be announced.
Earth Day Event!
Today they could be found handing out free plant plugs from 9am-12pm at the STEM fair at Northport High School, and 11-1:30pm by their beautiful model native garden outside Village Hall on Main Street in Northport!
