Most NYCWW events are free and open to the public. Space is limited for certain events, so advance registration is encouraged.
Does your community garden include native plants?
Let the public know by displaying a NYC Wildflower Week sign at your garden and highlighting your native plants with our plant markers. You can download the materials here.
Here are some native plant tags you can download:
Common Sneezeweed (Helenium autumnale)
Great Blue Lobelia (Lobelia siphilitica)
Looking to add some native plants?
If your garden doesn't include native plants, download our guide to Gardening with Native Plants, and download our fliers to learn how to Make Your Garden "Green" With Native Plants-- there is one for Sunny areas, and one for Shady areas.
