About this Event
Join us for a walk-and-talk through the newly established Pollinator Pocket gardens in , a 10.5-acre green space in the East Village. These gardens are central to the ecological restoration of the park’s southeast quadrant following severe damage from Hurricane Isaias. Planted with tough, locally sourced species, the Pollinator Pockets are designed to support birds, bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects while helping to reduce flooding, withstand intense summer heat, and provide four-season interest. During the tour, we will share lessons learned about selecting and caring for plants that thrive in a busy urban park amid a changing climate. We’ll also highlight the power of community stewardship: over the past three years, our all-volunteer group has hosted more than 70 events, engaging over 1,200 volunteers in planting, seeding, composting, and caring for the space.
Meet at the Field House between Avenue A & B near the 9th St entrance.
