Sustaining Wildlife in Fall and Winter Gardens, Deb Ellis of the Native Plant Society of NJ

Goldfinch Eating Clethra Alnifolia Seeds

Learn which flowers and shrubs can serve as a home and food source for pollinators and birds in fall and winter, as well as how to modernize fall cleanup.

Deb Ellis is the founder and leader of the Essex chapter of the Native Plant Society of New Jersey, a Master Gardener, a Rutgers Environmental Steward, and formerly served on the Montclair Environmental Commission. A retired social justice lawyer, she was named a Champion of Change by the Obama White House in 2011. Deb credits her love of gardening to her dad, Homer, who planted wildflowers with her when she was a girl, and her mom, Loismary, who made them into beautiful bouquets.
