Randall’s Island is known for sports and outdoor music as well as a place for health and social institutions. However, most New Yorkers are unaware that the island is also home to many acres of wetlands, woodlands, meadows, and ornamental gardens that create beauty and sanctuary in a landscape surrounded by the bustle of New York City. Landscape and garden designer Veronica Tyson-Strait will share the Randall’s Island that she knows: an oasis for birds, butterflies, and anyone seeking refuge. She will also share strategies to enhance biodiversity in your own garden. This program on September 21 at 5:30 pm is co-sponsored by the Polly Hill Arboretum and by the Dukes Soil Conservation District and The Nature Conservancy. In person, in an open air building. $5 PHA members, $10 nonmembers – space is limited.
Registration is required. Sign up at bit.ly/Veronica-Tyson-Strait-Lecture
