On 9/30/2023, LINPI (Long Island Native Plants Initiative) greenhouse, in Brentwood, hosted a plant sale event, and members of AYLUS Syosset Branch volunteered at LINPI to provide additional support to help LINPI associates. The weather was cold on the day of the sale event and LINPI associates were friendly and treated each member hot chocolate and snacks. Members helped to fold LINPI flyers for distributing to LINPI customers. LINPI associates also gave members printed stickers to attach to plant labels for plant identifications. At the transplanting area, members added water to the hard soil to soften it, filled empty pots with softened soil, removed the plants from the current grow pots that were too small for plant root development, and then repotted plants into bigger pots for future root growth.
Members who participated:
4 hours: Rayya Zheng, Reyna Zheng, Sarah Chen, Sofie Chang, Sonia Chang
