  • Fridays, May 21 – June 4, 10:00 am – 12:00 noon – Urban Flora: Growing Between the Cracks, Online

    Urban flora can be found growing in unlikely places, from city sidewalks and highway medians to lawns, and other man-made structures. Most of these plants are introduced and many are considered weeds. We will hear more about their origins, life cycles, and benefits to the urban landscape while learning how to identify them in the field. This New York Botanical Garden online series of lectures will take place Fridays, May 21 – June 4, and is taught by Nancy Slowik. A dedicated naturalist for over 40 years, Nancy Slowik is the former director of Greenbrook Sanctuary, co-founder of the Greenbelt Native Plant Center, and author of two books on local flora. Currently, she consults with Restore Native Plants to provide guidance for a native plant propagation facility and restoration facility in Ramapo Mountain Park Preserve. $139. Register HERE.
