Inch by inch, row by row...a group of landscape committee members, board members, and general volunteers have been sprucing up the front gate area and will continue.
They started with some much needed pruning and some weeding because there was an infestation of bindweed and even some poison ivy on the west. Next, Citigroup employees got us started on stone borders with pavers that liberated street tree pits. Then, with a member donation, RIGC able to source some native plants at wholesale prices from LI Natives. These specific plants like hot dry environments and will also add in some season color and feed many pollinators once established out front near the gates, in some of the tree pits on Main Street, and in our landscape beds.
Remember also to lock the gates during the week. The gardens are open to the public on weekends only from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
