May is MUST FIND MUSTARDS month.
Since 1819, fifty-eight species of Mustard have been found growing wild in New York City. Most are introduced species from Europe and some like Garlic Mustard are highly invasive. Sixteen species are indigenous to the City and many are rare or have not been seen in the City for 30, 50 or 100 years. Learn to recognize Mustard plants and document them in your neighborhood.
