how to provide habitat for birds, butterflies, and other creatures
good (and poor) plant selections for Central New York
design principles for an attractive yard and habitat
water features
citizen science
being a habitat gardener - and a good neighbor, too!
and MORE!
We also
share plants and seeds

and MORE!

Meet other like-minded habitat gardeners 
... AND help restore habitat and native plants in Central New York!

Our meetings are free and open to the public. Regular meetings are on the fourth (not necessarily the last!) Sunday of the month at 2:00 p.m. although there are a few special events that take place at other times. Check here for information about all our meetings and events.
