Native Plant Society of New Jersey
United States
Registrace 8. 07. 2021
The Native Plant Society of New Jersey is a statewide non-profit organization dedicated to the appreciation, protection, and study of the native flora of New Jersey. Founded in 1985, we have hundreds of members across the state, and are organized into county and regional chapters. Our members include gardeners, horticulturists, naturalists, landscape designers, students, and native plant enthusiasts from all walks of life.
We conduct regular lectures and presentations with featured speakers on topics ranging from introduction to native plants, gardening with natives, identification and appreciation of the beautiful flora and ecosystems of New Jersey, ecological landscaping, and much more. Our annual meeting is a must-attend event for anyone involved in the native plant movement in New Jersey. We organize nature walks and garden tours, dispense advice on design and maintenance of native gardens and landscapes, and have helped establish native plant gardens around the state.

Connecting Kids to Nature: Creating and Maintaining School Gardens
Engaging kids to learn about native plants is vital to our planet’s future. Two speakers, contributors to the recently published NPSNJ’s “Native Plant School Guide,” will delve into the nuts and bolts of establishing native plant gardens in school gardens that not only serve as food and habitat for pollinators and birds but also provide valuable learning opportunities.
Our discussion will focus on a carefully chosen palette of plants: beautiful, easy-to-grow, and that bloom in spring and fall when students are in school.
We’ll explore the benefits of school gardens as well as the challenges associated with creating green spaces in schools and other public spaces.
Sarah Paulsen and Dena Corbin, integral members of the Essex Chapter team behind the School Guide, bring their extensive experience in creating school gardens to the conversation.

Rainscaping Practices: Gardening with Purpose with Scott Woodbury
zhlédnutí 475Před 7 měsíci
For decades, stormwater has been ditched and piped to get rainwater away from buildings and properties quickly. The downside is that all that additional rainwater ends up in nearby creeks where the increased volume and velocity erode banks and add pollutants to the natural environment. Rainscaping practices like rain gardens are designed to hold water on the property longer, to encourage water ...

UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration- How come this is the first time I've heard of this?
Your video making is very good. Your content ideas ar very good. If you give me permission, I will share some information with you to increase the channel. You get lots of subscribe and views. best regards Thank you
Great video. I have been thinking about how to get communities involved in the “native plant movement”. My children aren’t yet school age but it got me thinking about the future. I wonder if more presentations like this could be done with people who have started initiatives in other ways, like in public parks or with their towns. If anyone knows of any that is lol
Great presentation, I took notes!
Teri was a speaker at the Mercer County Master Gardener Symposium this year! What inspiration-she is an environmental champion!

Always thought we should give Manhattan back to the indigenous people. The Hudson river used to be the caviar capital of the world before Russia. A Scuba diver told me he seen body parts in the Hudson river near an Albany Hospital. The human wastes from the Manhattan skyscrapers used to go directly into hudson bay. NYC hospital medical wastes were found on NJ shores. We need another Pete Seeger.
Outstanding! I am building one.
Nothing like digging holes.
Nothing like repairing an existing hole while discovering creatures you had no idea existed in your back yard

Great work! Native plants rock. Long standing member and contributer to Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve, Jack Schieber, son Gil Schieber.
very cool thank you
I removed all the Asian praying mantis egg sacs and a year or two later, I had the first native Carolina Mantis.
Excellent presentation. Really thought provoking. It would s impressive to see a forest when there is deer fencing, so lush you cannot see through it.
The importance of videos on native plants. We all appreciate your efforts and education. ❤
How does hunting go along with, “putting wildlife first?” Bet they are killing Black bears/trophies there, too.
Very interesting. I’ll be looking at woods in a new light…so many connections.
Thank you❤
The excellent presentation starts at 7:30 . Thanks for making this available!
Everybody needs to eat, even hawks.
Thank you for the research that is ongoing. Outstanding information .
Excellent presentation
Curious if the “normal” group that would clear out brushy vegetation along power line routes would be as careful in their work or just herbicide area.
NJ Conservation needs donations to purchase and protect more open spaces forever and Emile can continue his wonderful work❤
We need a new driveway and I’m interested in an old-timey one with just grass (or better yet native ground over)and two strips of concrete for tires but I don’t know how to deal with snow shoveling. Ribbon driveway it’s called.
Love all the real world examples!
Fantastic presentation!
For me has been a surprise to hear the name of Mount Cuba is a colección whit the fauna of Cuba?
It is an estate in Hockessin, Delaware, USA. It is now a garden and native plant research facility open to the public.
the entire state is threatened by corrupt elections and politicians??????????
Toadshade Wildflower Farm (located in NJ) is worth checking out for seeds and/or plants for a few of these listed. They are very involved in conservation efforts and the preservation and propagation of native plants. If anyone happens to have a native plant that isn't currently offered growing wild on their own private property, you may reach out to them to offer seed for them to continue propagating so others may grow them as well.
Very cool! Thanks
My town has a gnat swarm problem and needs help getting rid of them, what bats would you recommend to reduce the problem since my parents refuse to install a bug zapper to reduce the insane numbers. The town is Lakehurst and the issue keeps getting worse per year and no one speaks up about it. I'm sure the bats would thrive in these conditions.
This was great! We found this place with the Delaware Riverkeeper!
She is EXCELLENT!
Eye Opening. Now I’m going to start getting more Evening Primrose going.
There is a specialist night flying native bee that uses evening primrose , too. The amazing thing is that somehow primrose “hears” pollinators ( senses the vibrations of their wings) when they are nearby and pumps 30% more sugar into its nectar to lure them in for better chance of pollination! How cool is that?! Amazing what’s happening right under our noses and above our heads. I have heard the bats on the bee detectors. It’s so cool. We drove around different areas , mainly rural ones, hung it out the door and listened to the chatter. It was a project of a local nature society here in SW Ohio. Bats are very chatty- even when they’re just hanging out they’re checking out what’s around them with the chittering. This was a great presentation. Glad I found it!
Excellent presentation of a favorite topic. I've been gardening for wildlife for 25+ years and I never tire of this subject. I did learn something new. Just today I was wondering if I should cut back the agastache seed heads. I will be leaving them stand. Thanks for the information.
Want to do this in my backyard where can I get these plants
Love this!
The giant Rudbeckia is called Wild Golden Glow
Joy is sharing, I agree.
Any chance to get a printable list?

Never thought to use natives in pots. Have large pots sitting unused and natives that need dividing perfect combo.

Could you please explain what “reputable sources” means to you? Your stance sounds like an elitist jab at common sense local flora propagation by smaller producers.
Fantastic mulches are grass clippings, mowed over leaves and small sticks Chop and drop plant clippings. These will dry out quickly and look good.
I would love to hear what this speaker had to say but she is speaking so rapidly that it is difficult to understand her. 😢
