The Nature of Mendham to Host a Native Plant Garden Tour and Plant Giveaway and Sale

On Saturday, September 17 from 10:00 am - Noon, The Nature of Mendham will host a native plant garden tour at 10 Washington Valley Road. This property is certified as Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation. The first 30 residents to attend will receive a free Swamp Milkweed plant. Toadshade Wildflower Farm will also be selling other native plants which are all propagated and grown in their nursery in Frenchtown, NJ.

Mendham Township and Mendham Borough Environmental Commissions are working on certifying the Mendhams as Community Wildlife Habitat. The program called "The Nature of Mendham" is in partnership with the National Wildlife Federation & NJ Audubon aims to make the Mendhams greener and more wildlife-friendly by creating wildlife habitat throughout its communities while educating and engaging residents. The program encourages homeowners to use best management practices for wildlife on their property (using native plants, avoiding pesticides, etc.) and certifying their yard at nwf.org/certify.  The Mendhams will become a Certified Community Wildlife Habitat when we achieve 175 certification points (1 point for each residence, 3 points for each town property, and 5 points for each school). Come and see how you can certify your property!
