NYC Wildflower Week presents a full week of free events to showcase the 53,000 acres of open space and 778 native plants in NYC’s 5 boroughs. The goal of the week is simple: to encourage New Yorkers to get to know the nature in their own back yard and to inspire them to protect this natural heritage for future generations. In 2012 we are expanding on this model by launching National Urban Biodiversity Week with partners in cities across the country. Check out Nature Block Party to learn more!

Over 30 events will be held across all five boroughs! Check here for the event listings (coming soon). Learn more about NYC Wildflower Week and the importance of wildflowers everywhere here.
