Be inspired by the many landscape and gardening choices we can make to protect Long Island estuaries and water supplies.

This high-quality calendar features information on drought-tolerant plants, correct use of mulch, drip irrigation, rain barrels, healthy soil, rain gardens, green roofs, and more, including a resource page about local and national organizations that focus on native plants and sustainable horticulture.
