Tarrytown Train Station Pollinator Garden

Our garden adds natural beauty with native plants that nurture and shelter threatened pollinators — bees, butterflies, beneficial insects and birds. You can do the same at home, no planting is too small to help. Any garden or planting that is pesticide free and provides food and shelter for wildlife will make a difference. If you don’t have garden space you can plant a planter or install a native shrub or tree!
