The Floral Park Conservation Society is always looking for people with a trade, a unique vocation, and all types of workers willing to lend a hand. The Floral Park Conservation Society is a non-profit organization formed to provide a service to the community. Anyone who truly cares to make a difference should volunteer. To become a member or make a donation to the Conservation Society you can visit the Village web site at FPVILLAGE.ORG and click on the Centennial Gardens link. The Gardens are open from April through Thanksgiving from 12:00pm to 5:00pm daily (weather permitting). Our own little ecosystem provides habitats and food sources for birds and animals. It offers suitable mini-climates for other plants that could otherwise be absent from the area. Centennial Gardens and Bird Sanctuary increases a sense of community ownership which leads to our Village s identity and spirit. It is a place to retreat from the noise and commotion of everyday life. Getting outdoors and working in the fresh air at the gardens brings you back to nature. Please help us plant, rake, dig, and grow. Whether you donate your time or donate bird seed, every bit counts. (17)
