McGolrick Garden Club and Plant Giveaway
9 AM – NOON
North Brooklyn Parks Alliance Plant Swap and Garden Club
Join us Sunday at 9am for a big park-planting day! North Brooklyn Parks Alliance will be planting an array of pollinators that prefer full sun. Varieties include Great Blue Lobelia, Rattlesnake Master, Pale Purple Coneflower, and Mountain Mint, all sourced from Citywide Nursery. We’ll be focusing on the garden beds adjacent to the Russell and N. Henry St. entrances. RSVP here!
NBPA will also be giving away a variety of plants for your home garden as well. These include Purple Coneflower, Virginia Strawberry, Wild Bergamot / Wild Bee Balm, and Foxglove Beardtongue among many others. These plants were all grown in NBK Parks Native Nursery at Under the K Bridge Park using seeds donated by Greenbelt Native Plant Center. Volunteers helped plant these seeds in early January and they are finally ready for distribution to neighbors, parks, and community gardens!
