About the East Meadow Farm Arboretum and Gold Medal Plant Program:
The mini-Arboretum at the East Meadow Farm is a demonstration of trees, shrubs, and perennial plants that are well-suited for small-space and urban landscapes. This demonstration garden is maintained by Cornell Master Gardener Volunteers.
What is a Gold Medal Plant?
The Long Island Gold Medal Plant Program began in 1999 in an effort to promote exceptional under-utilized plants for Long Island gardens and landscapes. The selection committee represents a wide cross-section of the local nursery and landscape industry.
The mission of the Gold Medal Plant Program is to identify and promote exceptional ornamental plants that will thrive in the Long Island home landscape. Increased public education and awareness of sustainable plant selections are the main goals of the Program.
