Whether you’re new to native plant gardening or a longtime gardener who’s been growing native plants for years, you want to stay informed on how to select native plants for your garden that benefit wildlife and people.
I know it’s short notice, but tonight’s Native Plants and Forest Gardens for Food, Medicine, Crafts, and Habitat is a free webinar from The Battery Conservancy offering helpful resources and tips.
While the focus of the webinar is on northeast United States native plants in urban environments, the concepts apply to gardens everywhere.

From the event description, the webinar will help you:
- Differentiate between native, endemic, naturalized, and invasive species
- Navigate native plant resources to select plants that will provide year-long support for wildlife in your area, as well as other benefits
- Create multi-level perennial planting plans to maximize use of space
- Practice ecological horticulture to support full plant and animal life cycles
Webinar Details and Registration
The webinar will be held Wednesday, August 6, 2025 at 7pm Eastern Time (time zone converter).

About The Battery Conservancy
The Battery, New York City’s first waterfront park was created in 1693. Over 300 years later, private citizens established The Battery Conservancy nonprofit, to raise funds to transform the 25-acre dilapidated and rundown landscape.
Today, The Battery is a vibrant space in downtown New York City:
It is a model of conservation and biodiversity with vast public gardens, organic urban farms, toxin-free lawns and SeaGlass, the innovative aquarium carousel.
It has set high standards in planning, design, construction and sustainable park management.
Summary
As I mentioned, it’s short notice, but I only discovered the native plants webinar today and wanted to share it with my readers.
I plan to attend, hope you’ll join me!
