This sustainable garden space designed by Dianna Facci and other volunteers, showcases our CROWN practices : Compost, Recycling, Organic vegetables, Watering wisely and Native perennials. This is an ongoing labor of love and keeps getting more beautiful each year! Great place to meet good people, learn tips and tricks, and contribute with your labor and ideas.
Organic veggies: We need help planting vegetables and distributing compost to get the garden started. Through the season we will weed, trellis, compost and harvest. All harvested produce is donated to the food pantry run by Our Lady of Fatima.
Native Perennial beds: Native plants provide food, habitat and shelter for our pollinators. Help us redesign the native beds, plant, maintain and weed. Over the season you will see a multitude of bees, butterflies, dragonflies and other critters around this garden.
Clearing the grounds: Prune trees and move branches to the wood pile. Lay out mulch!
Composting: This community compost feeds our veggies and is a creat example of how circular practices can nourish the soil, feed pollinators and people.
Please wear sturdy shoes, long pants and sleeves, gloves and sun protection (hat/sunscreen). We want to grow food for bugs, but avoid becoming bug-food ourselves!
Restroom facilities available at the garden, but help by bringing your water and carrying out any trash. For further information contact, cowneck-leads@rewildlongisland.org.
