GARDENING IMPACT ON ECOSYSTEMS 

Our proximity to bodies of water including the Long Island Sound presents an opportunity to make wise choices about how we garden, enrich soil and maintain water quality.

The 2026 COASTAL GARDENING course offering is a mix of in-person sessions, online learning and field trips. Speakers represent local, regional and federal organizations. All course recordings may be viewed on your schedule. In addition, we will meet in person three Saturdays (January 31, February 28 and March 21 from 9 until noon in the Town of Southold) to view and discuss course material and community stewardship activities. Although not required, attending at least two of the three sessions is strongly suggested. The course is open to all Suffolk County residents.
