In case of heavy rain, dedication will move to Sunday, September 8th, from 1–3pm. You will be notified if this happens. (Light drizzle will not lead to rescheduling.)

Thank you to our member volunteers who have helped to plant and nurture the garden, and to NPSSI board members Lenny Librizzi and Kevin Moriarty for their work designing, facilitating, planting, and maintaining it.

Many thanks also to the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation for donating the native plants, and to Nick Rozak at Green Stinger Beekeeping Services for donating the bee hotel.
