Our dedicated Ocean Friendly Garden volunteers continue to meet regular at our two bioswales in East Hampton. They are adamantly working to control invasive mugwort and other weeds by pulling them by hand. This hand-pulling is a continuous effort, but it keeps our soils healthy by avoiding chemical sprays for weed control.
Because this is a massive undertaking, we need all the volunteer help we can get! Luckily, we have some very knowledgeable folks leading the way, but no experience is necessary. Learn from our garden experts on one of our Ocean Friendly Garden workdays!
