The content focuses on urban environments, but many of the concepts are applicable to gardens anywhere. Children ages 13 and up are welcome to participate with an adult chaperone.Tickets are free but required. Some tickets are reserved for NYC DOE teachers and NYCHA residents; please select the appropriate ticket group when registering (on the Monday before a workshop, any unclaimed tickets remaining in reserve will be released to the general public). We offer multiple events of the same workshop each month, so if one is full please check for other available dates. If you are a DOE teacher or NYCHA resident and can't find available tickets, please reach out to us at education@thebattery.org so we can work with you to find a solution. If you don't have a ticket but would still like to attend, you're welcome to drop in at the start of the workshop and if we have space we will include you; however, space is not guaranteed.Native Plants and Forest Gardens for Food, Medicine, Crafts, and HabitatThis workshop will offer frameworks and resources to help you select native plants for your garden site, both at a small scale and if planning a larger forest garden. We'll explore the concepts of niches, functional diversity, plant guilds, and succession, and we'll highlight particular northeast native plants that can provide multiple benefits for wildlife and people. A guided tour through our Forest Farm will demonstrate some of the concepts in action. The Native Plants and Forest Gardens workshop will help you to:Differentiate between native, endemic, naturalized, and invasive speciesNavigate native plant resources to select plants that will provide year-long support for wildlife in your area, as well as other benefitsCreate multi-level perennial planting plans to maximize use of spacePractice ecological horticulture to support full plant and animal life cyclesLocation: Meet at the entrance to the Labyrinth & Forest Farm, marked on this map. Please note that Maps applications often misplace the entrance as in the tunnel below the park, so you should use these coordinates to help bring you to the meeting spot. Please also note that the northern side of the park is currently under construction, so you will need to enter the park along State Street (the map linked above outlines areas blocked off by construction).What to bring: Please note that this is an outdoor workshop in our park site.

Some 300 years later, private citizens established The Battery Conservancy to raise funds to transform the 25-acre landscape which had become dilapidated, downtrodden and overlooked as a sought-after destination.\r\n \r\nToday it is the thriving green heart of dynamic Downtown New York.  It is a model of conservation and biodiversity with vast public gardens, organic urban farms, toxin-free lawns and SeaGlass, the innovative aquarium carousel. It has set high standards in planning, design, construction and sustainable park management." } ] } ] ```
