The Battery Conservancy is a non-profit organization created to revitalize New York's birthplace park and its major landmark, Castle Clinton National Monument.

Fornace Masini handcrafted the limited edition Battery Gardeners' terra cotta pots for each guest at this year's fall luncheon.

The 2023 Pollinator Pot celebrates the 12 native bee species and thriving pollinators including butterflies, dragonflies, moths, and flies found within the Battery Gardens. In a time when biodiversity of public green space is critical to the health and wellbeing of urban life, the annual Battery Gardeners’ Luncheon celebrates native bees and pollinators who maintain and transform the 25 acres of the park's plant paradise.
