Many of the wildflowers in our gardens don’t appear by themselves! Debralee Mercado helps run our Citywide Nursery in Van Cortlandt Park, which grew and distributed over 45,000 plants to Parks-run gardens in the five boroughs last year! #NationalWildflowerWeek

But for those without green thumbs, there’s another option: yard sharing. https://thecounter.org/grassroots-groups-grow-produce-yard-sharing-access-crop-swap/

Ever heard someone tell you that younger trees absorb more carbon dioxide that older trees?

“You can't sequester a lot of carbon without big trees,” Lutz says. “You just can't do it.”
