Garden With Us!
The gardens in Hunter’s Point South Park and Gantry Plaza State Park are home to numerous native plant species that create a sustainable ecosystem and promote the ecological well-being of the waterfront. However, invasive weeds such as mugwort, ragweed, clovers, phragmites, and more threaten and destroy native plants. Removing them is not only cleansing for our gardens, but for our minds. Gardening and volunteering in one of the city’s most scenic waterfront parks provides an enjoyable distraction from the stresses of daily city-living.
The park has no shortage of tasks, from pruning to weeding to picking up litter. Any help is greatly appreciated and participation from all ages is warmly welcomed.
