Native Plants: Creating a Backyard Habitat

This event, which will take place on Saturday, August 7 at 10 AM EDT via zoom, will teach you all about what native plants are and why you should be planting them.  This program is part of the Erie Canal Museum’s effort to revitalize its Locktender’s Garden area and encourage people along the Canal to take up gardening in order to create a more beautiful and sustainable Canal Corridor.

This project is dependent upon the generous support from the William G. Pomeroy Foundation, the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor and the NYS Canal Corporation, along with support provided by Market NY through I LOVE NY, New York State’s Division of Tourism, as a part of the State’s Regional Economic Development Council initiative.
