Let's get wild with a member of the Wild Ones local gardening group. Discuss ways native gardening can support pollinators and craft something special for the garden. All materials provided.

From the Wild Ones:

Welcome to Wild Ones South Central Ohio Chapter!

We promote environmentally friendly, sound landscaping to preserve biodiversity through the preservation, restoration, and establishment of native plant communities across the United States.

"Wild Ones chapters are a space where like-minded people gather to support each other in learning about landscaping with native plants and to share with others in their communities and networks about why it’s important to reintroduce native plants into public and private gardens and how to go about doing it.
