In addition, Master Gardeners are celebrating EARTH DAY at Suffolk Farm in a couple of ways. More native plants will be available for sale. Regional stewardship groups will be on hand providing interactive displays about best gardening practices. Among these will be the LI Garden Rewards Program, and LI Sound/Sea Grant and Suffolk County Water Authority. Master Gardeners will also be at a table talking about pollinator gardens and rain gardens.
Any SAP MGs interested in spreading the word at our MG table?
At the suggestion of our collaborators, we've added FAMILY FRIENDLY activities to celebrate EARTH DAY at the Farm. To show off what our Master Gardeners have been doing in the Children's Garden, MGs will have activities and displays for the public. There will be a pollinator hunt, rain barrel demonstration, face painting, bubble blowing and bug origami. Feed for the animals and wagon rides tickets may be purchased from the Farm's new Welcome Center parallel to the middle of the parking lot.
To offer this array of ACTIVITIES and the PLANT SALE, we truly need your help.
Please drop me a note if you're available on Friday or Saturday for any of these activities at Suffolk Farm. rz378@cornell.edu
