Sourland Conservancy Stewardship Interns, Kristen Falzon and Ellie DiBartolomeo, will lead a Pollinator Planter Walk to introduce participants to the benefits of planting natives in containers, talking about the individual plants, and maybe even share some seeds!
This is a free event, and registration is not required. Please bring a water bottle, dress for the weather, and wear comfortable walking shoes. Our group will meet at the gazebo at Hopewell Borough Park and enjoy a leisurely stroll through town to visit the Adopt-A-Garden planters and the native plant garden at the Hopewell Public Library.
The Adopt-A-Garden planter project is made possible through the generous support of Downtown Hopewell, Hopewell Borough businesses, individuals, and families. This event is hosted by the Sourland Conservancy and the Hopewell Public Library.
The Sourland Conservancy worked with Hopewell Elementary School students and staff to plant the “Adopt a Garden Containers on Earth Day 2024 thanks to the generous support of Adopt-A-Garden sponsor businesses, families and individuals. This year, the conservancy has used funds that were raised by Downtown Hopewell’s “Mocktail Crawl” to maintain 25 "Adopt-A-Garden" native planters around town. Most of the plants were purchased from My Backyard at Nectars, Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve, and Pinelands Nursery.
