About Us

Since its founding in 2013, Cultivate Catskill has moved us toward a greener Catskill. 

We continue to plant inviting public areas, install vibrant hanging baskets, fill containers with colorful flowers and creatively decorate for the seasons.

We sponsor a Cultivate Catskill Cat in support of HOCA (Heart of Catskill Association) and their wonderful work.

With our Tree Council  we ensure the trees along Main Street are maintained and we encourage residents to clean, paint and plant to help make Catskill all it can be.

We educate our residents about the rich history of the area and encourage everyone to get involved to continue to make Catskill better. 

We organize a monthly Trunk Sale from May through October. These are held the second Saturday of each month in the Greene County Parking Lot from 9AM-1PM.  Vendors and shoppers are welcome!

We held Catskill’s first Winter Solstice Stroll in December of 2021, lighting up Main Street with fire pits, art, street performers and more. It has become an annual event thanks to the support of local merchants.  New in 2025 will be a Summer Solstice event, currently scheduled for Saturday June 21st on Main Street in Catskill. 

To learn more about the organization and our members, listen to this episode of the podcast, Nature Calls: Conversations from the Hudson Valley, which features Shelly Pulver and Robin Smith.  Enjoy!

As long as we have the community generosity and support, we will continue planting pride in our community.
