SUMMARY:In Gardens We Trust: A Fishers Island Native Plant Chat
DESCRIPTION:Native plants are essential to repairing and sustaining our fragile ecosystem on Fishers Island. But what makes them unique\, and how can we use them effectively? Join us at the Museum on May 25\, 2024 for a first-of-its-kind event to find out!\nWHEN: Saturday\, May 25\, 2024 \nTIME: 11 am – 12 pm (Talk)\, 12-1 pm (Reception) \nPLACE: In person only at the Museum\, 2nd Floor \nBy understanding the impact of our actions on land\, we can make a significant difference. Non-native plants often require extra maintenance\, like fertilizer and pesticides\, which can harm our delicate ecosystem. Fishers Island’s sandy\, porous soil does not retain these chemicals once applied; instead\, they flow into our waters. Fertilizer runoff is a significant source of nitrogen pollution that damages marine habitats and creates algal blooms. The fertilizer and pesticides that do not run into the water damage soil quality and harm native insects. Planting native is an easy win for our entire ecosystem. \nAt this event\, we will hear from experienced peers and professionals to discover more about Fishers Island’s native landscape\, the role of invasive plants in the food chain\, and how we can use native plants within our landscaping projects. Terry McNamara\, Dr. Adam Mitchell\, Diana Fiske\, and Dianne Crary will each give a lightning talk about native plants and happily answer your questions. \nAfter our speakers take you on a journey to learn about Fishers Island’s native plants\, we will hold a reception that will host various Fishers Island contractors\, lots of helpful handouts\, and a live divided perennial demonstration. \nDon’t miss out on this unique opportunity! Space is limited\, so secure your spot today. \nRegistrationThis event is sponsored by\nFishers Island Conservancy and the Henry L. Ferguson Museum
