The Brookdale Park Conservancy partners with companies, individuals, and organizations to provide volunteer opportunities in the park. It's such a win-win to learn about gardens, reduce your stress, meet new people and help others.
Keep Nature in Mind, Sustainable Fall Gardening
When the weather cools and leaves begin to fall we itch to “put the garden to bed”, a practice that needs updating. In the park's native plant gardens, we garden sustainably. Translating this into your home garden will help make sure your plants, insects, butterflies and animals overwinter safely.
These fall gardening tips are inspired by Doug Tallamy, conservationist, author, and professor at the University of Delaware. He writes that nature's best hope is for each of us to practice conservation in our own yards.
