Does the institution prioritize the use of native plant species in landscaping?:
A brief description of the native plant program, policy, or practice:
The NYU Garden Shop prioritizes the use of native plant species in landscaping. To achieve this, the NYU Garden Shop focuses on planting trees, shrubs, and perennials that evolved in our local area. This practice also requires less maintenance, watering and chemical fertilizers and pesticides than exotic species.
This practice is part of the Sustainability standards adopted by the NYU Garden Shop (see below).
