Cultivated Flora
Native plants carefully selected for their contribution to the ecosystem and suitability to the project's location. These plants were intentionally introduced by Lifeblood of Gaia volunteers and staff.

Native Volunteer Flora
Native plants which were not purposefully introduced to the median but have been spotted on the median, adding diversity and unique ecological benefits.
Non-Native and Invasive Flora
These plants are the unwelcome denizens of the Wildscape Project, which we are constantly working to control and eliminate. Many of them were already in the soil when we began the project, or arrived in contaminated soil, shoes, or on the wind.
Fuana
Insects, reptiles, birds, rodents, and other critters that have been spotted visiting or living at the Tarrytown Wildscape project.
