On Sunday September 13 th, Bedford 2030 and Healthy Yards are inviting the residents of Westchester to have a look at their neighbors’ pollinator friendly gardens. More than 50 gardens will be open.
During the tour, private homeowners will open their yards to show how they manage their yard with practices that reduce their carbon footprint and support a healthier biodiversity.
Public gardens and preserves will have professionals available to share their environmental landscaping knowledge. Owners of the residential gardens will be available to answer questions as well.
Don’t expect perfectly manicured properties! The emphasis is on how we can create healthier yards and enjoy more biodiversity.
What are ‘healthier yard’ practices? No toxins, leave the leaves and limit the lawn in favor of beneficial plant species.
The properties can be closed at any time when the situation feels crowded or unsafe.
