Events

One way to keep costs down when adding native plants to your garden is to start some plants from seed. Pam Morgan and Camille Newell will lead an instructional workshop on how to start native plants from seed.

This event will take you through the basics, including:

• When is the right time to collect seed from native plants
• What's different about starting native seeds compared to vegetable seeds
• What are the different methods for starting native seeds
• Where are some places to get native seed

We will collect some seed together from the Lake Springdale Rain Garden (if available) and participants can take the seed home.

Free and open to the public.

Discover how ecological landscaping with native plants can make your landscape more resilient and help address the climate crisis. This webinar will highlight practical, evidence-based approaches to designing and maintaining landscapes that build resilience to climate change and support native biodiversity. Join Wild Ones for a free webinar, “EcoBeneficial Landscape Strategies for the Climate Crisis,” featuring environmental horticulturalist and ecological landscape designer Kim Eierman.
