Friends of Great Swamp NWR July Second Sunday Program

Event Details

Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge, 32 Pleasant Plains Rd, NJ, 07920

Friends of Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge will present the July Second Sunday Program, Landscaping with Native Plants, on July 14, 2024, from 1:30-3:00 PM.

Bruce Crawford, Morris County Park Commission Manager of Horticulture and former Director of Rutgers Gardens, will present ideas for home gardeners with limited space and time. There has been a tremendous surge in the use of native plants that extends beyond their beauty. These plants also provide food through pollen, nectar, or foliage that will benefit our native insect population and all the animals that feed upon these insects. Bruce will highlight numerous selections that will enhance your home and garden throughout the year while sustaining our natural environment.

  • In person in the Pavilion at the Helen C. Fenske Visitor Center, 32 Pleasant Plains Rd., Harding Township, NJ 07920.
  • Virtually on Zoom

Registration is required for both and can be done online at ttsu.me/landscaping. Information is available on the Friends website, www.friendsofgreatswamp.org under Events.

Zoom log-on information will be sent to everyone who registers on Sunday, July 14 at Noon.

Second Sunday programs are hosted by Friends of Great Swamp NWR and USFWS with generous support from the Marta Heflin Foundation.
