Sustaining Wildlife in Fall and Winter Gardens, with Deb Ellis of the Essex Chapter of the Native Plant Society of N.J.

Fall is a terrific time to plant native plants. They provide food during the cold months for birds, and their leaves create habitat for the overwintering of larvae and cocoons of butterflies and moths, as well as the American bumblebee. At this live Fyke presentation, you’ll learn which flowers and shrubs can serve as a home and food source for pollinators and birds in fall and winter, and take-home tips for fall cleanup.

Our presenter is Deb Ellis, founder and leader of the Essex chapter of the Native Plant Society of New Jersey, a Master Gardener, a Rutgers Environmental Steward, and formerly served on the Montclair Environmental Commission.

Location: Allendale Municipal Building, 500 W. Crescent Ave., Allendale.

No registration is required for this live program. It will be recorded and posted to the Fyke Nature website (https://www.fykenature.org/meetings.php#nextprogram)under Programs.

Since 2015, Fyke’s monthly speaker costs have been funded by a generous grant from the Winifred M. And George P. Pitkin Foundation.
