 WOMV will sell native pollinator plants from Wild Ginger Farm and have an educational table at this popular annual event. If you’d like to volunteer to help, please email [email protected]. Location is Great Swamp Conservancy, 8375 North Main Street Canastota, NY

 Wild Ginger Farm opened last year and is our nearest native plant nursery! Owner Alyssa Wisehart will give a short talk with some tips for gardeners, descriptions about the plants that are for sale, as well as helping attendees to find the right plants for their conditions. And  10% off for dues-paying WO’s members! Visit the website to view the available plant list and look at the lovely photos of native plants and the farm. If you can’t join us for our visit, the nursery opens on Saturday, May 4th and will be open Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 1-5pm.  211 County Road 21, West Winfield, NY
