NYC       wildflowers

NYC Wildflower Week is here - May 3-12, 2024.  Learn why wildflowers are vital to our urban lives. All are welcome!

Why Wildflowers?

Native plants are an important part of nature, especially in the Big Apple. Indigenous species - including trees, ferns, shrubs and sedges - play a critical role in our local ecology, are habitat for wildlife, and boost our well-being.

NYC has already lost nearly 40% of our native flora. Here's how you can help

"In some Native languages the term for 'plants' translates to 'those who take care of us.'” - Dr. Robin Wall Kimmerer

Land Acknowledgement

Lenapehoking is the ancestral homeland of the Lenni Lenape people. As we work on their unceded land, we acknowledge Lenape past, present, and future relationships with their territory.

Considering the centuries of oppression and violence against Indigenous peoples, we invite you to join us in paying rent to the American Indian Community House through their Manna-hata Fund
