Introducing the Sligo Garden Program

The garden kits and design consultations are completely sold out for 2023, but...

Sorry, the program sold out fast! Stay tuned for opportunities for stormwater garden tours, and more kits and consults in 2024.
In the meantime, be sure to visit the Stormwater main page, and the Stormwater Resources page on the FOSC website for garden ideas and resources.

Thank you for your interest on the Sligo Garden Program!

This spring, Friends of Sligo Creek is partnering with Nature Forward to provide low-cost native plant gardens exclusively for residents of the Sligo Creek watershed.

Sligo Garden Program

Established to create more native plant gardens in the Sligo Creek Watershed, the program encourages residents to convert lawn into gardens. The plants used in the gardens support local pollinators and slow stormwater, improving the health of Sligo Creek, Long Branch, and their tributaries.

The program is a collaboration between Friends of Sligo Creek and Nature Forward, funded through a generous grant.
