Stanley Greenman was a lifelong lover of nature, known for his deep appreciation of plants and wildlife and the quiet beauty of the natural world. He especially enjoyed peaceful walks through Planting Fields near his home in Oyster Bay. Among his favorites was Bluestem, a native grass he lovingly grew and cherished at his home on Nantucket.

In his memory, donations will support the planting of native species and help preserve the beauty of Planting Fields for all to value and enjoy.

For questions, and to learn more about creating private tribute campaigns, please contact Development Manager, Maddie Schulz, at mschulz@plantingfields.org or call (516) 922-8672.
