Our vision for Worcester.

In 2021, a few of us came together wondering how we could share what we have learned with our broader community and advocate for our shared environment. What we had in common was our passion for native plants and our witness to the miracles happening daily in our own backyards. We watched as our city properties were transformed within a very short time after introducing more native plants and removing the non-native ornamentals (and sometimes invasive species). We were amazed at how the natural world seemed to restore itself with ease.  We began to talk about a vision for our city, where birds and insects are welcome and people cultivate what belongs here in New England. Our group immediately became larger as some members of UUCW Garden On team heard about our work and joined us. Soon, we were planning our first event. Through offering educational workshops and events, our connections with others doing essential conservation work in Worcester is growing! We look forward to joining forces and getting native plants out to as many Worcester-ites as possible in the coming years.
