#PollinatorWeek
RIOC, along with The Butterfly Project NYC, GreenThumb, iDig2Learn, RI Garden Club & GRIN, joined forces to plant pollinator-attracting plants near Sportspark during National Pollinator Week in late June!
Christina Delfico, Jack Burkhalter, and Julia Ferguson met up early on a Thursday morning to plant beautiful perennial native plants to attract pollinators year round. This native planting includes Zizia Aurea, Baptisia Alba, Gray Goldenrod, & False Aster. Native plants have evolved with the regional conditions & local wildlife. They need less water and also support pollinators and birds much more effectively than other plantings!
Morning workout - weed, add a little locally processed compost, plant with space to grow & water.
All of this was possible because of Ursula with the NYC Environmental Education Center @nycenviroeductr and Christina Delfico @iDig2Learn #butterflyprojectnyc
We are grateful for Altheria Jackson, Mary Cunneen, Jessica Cerone, Erica Spencer El, Matthew Kibby, Eddie Perez, and Fernando Vargas at RIOC @rooseveltislandrioc. They all pitched in behind the scenes for permission, planning, adding more soil amendments, and turning on the water so these plants can get established.
A very special thanks to RIOC’s acting CEO & President Shelton Haynes who was very excited about this community project.
Roosevelt Island Garden Club #community garden appreciates so many partners on Roosevelt Island who help to make wise choices that provide opportunities for nature and our environment.
