Wild One Events – Chapter and National

On Saturday May 2nd the Kensington Park Library will be having an Earth Day Garden Party and we will have a table showing off Wild Ones.  Many of you went to the event last year or have been to the wonderful native plant gardens at the library.   This event will include a plant swap, garden tour, compost bin distribution and presentation, native plants, rainscapes and tree experts!

See “Read More” link below for details about the event, Sponsored by Friends of the Library, Montgomery County.

Members - If you are interested in helping out at the Wild Ones table, please respond to the call for volunteers on groups.io.
 

The Wild Ones Nation's Capital Region chapter's Informal Garden Chats are held the first Monday of each month from 7-8 pm ET via Zoom.

Garden Chats are monthly Zoom conversations about a variety of topics including what is happening in our gardens, how we're encouraging native gardening in our communities, ideas for our Wild Ones chapter, and more!  

A topic/prompt and Zoom details will be sent out to chapter members via the listserve prior to the meeting.  Past topics have included winter sowing, pruning trees/shrubs, engaging neighbors in native planting, pocket forests/thickets, jumping worms, mosquito control and leaving the leaves.  

Beginners welcome! Bring your stories, questions, or just sit back and listen.

Wild Ones Nation's Capital Region will have a table at this free Native Plant and Seed Share.  Members who are interested in volunteering at the table, please respond to the call for volunteers on groups.io.

This native plant and seed share is also a great opportunity for Wild Ones members to share their garden's bounty with other gardeners, many who are new to native planting.  In addition to a plant and seed share, there will be a potluck.  Please come, bring plants to share, and enjoy connecting with other Native Plant enthusiasts.

This event is a collaboration between several different groups interested in promoting native plants.

RSVP encouraged but not required.
