Welcome to the Nation’s Capital Region site!
We are proud to be the first Maryland chapter of a national organization. Wild Ones: Native Plants, Natural Landscapes promotes environmentally sound landscaping practices to preserve biodiversity through the preservation, restoration and establishment of native plant communities. Our chapter, Wild Ones Nation’s Capital Region, covers Montgomery County, the District of Columbia, and Prince George’s County.
Be Wild!
