Join Wild Ones National Board President Loris Damerow for a special presentation as part of Week 3 of the 2025 Less Lawn More Life Challenge, “Native Plants Planted Right.” Loris will walk us through the basics of native plant gardening- from choosing the right plants to planting and maintaining them with confidence.

Join us on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, at 5 p.m. CT for the YouTube Live premiere of this 30-minute webinar. Native plant experts from  Wild Ones, Plan it Wild, Homegrown National Park, ReWild Your Campus, and others will be active in the live chat throughout the presentation and for 30 minutes after the webinar, giving you plenty of time to ask questions and engage! 

This event is designed for newcomers to native gardening and is part of the national Less Lawn More Life Challenge, hosted by Plan It Wild in collaboration with Wild Ones, iNaturalist, Homegrown National Park, Pollinator Partnership  and many others!

Our last nature hike with Ken was so much fun, we're doing another one! This time, we will meet at Dudley's, where people can buy lunch (optional) before we follow Roz to her countryside property and see what is growing and blooming. Bring good walking shoes, sunscreen, water, and your favorite means of plant and insect identification. We can lunch together at her yurt 🙂

Come meet Al and get a tour of the amazing native plant garden he takes such good care of. June should be the best time to see pollinator plants supporting our local fauna.

"This year's theme is "Honoring Mother Earth, Respecting All Our Relatives". The Iipay Nation of Santa Ysabel want to emphasize and remind community members of the interconnectedness we all share with plants, animals, elements, and soil. Whether we are working, playing, or being in nature, our actions impact all living things and in turn they impact us. Reconnecting with all our relatives and the earth has been proven to promote physical and mental health benefits, strengthen community bonds, and help us to remember our obligation to be good stewards of the land." -Joe Wier
