Chapters in Colorado

Bring your seedlings which need to be transplanted!  We will also have materials for spring sowing (bring your seeds, but we will have some species on hand). Registration required, space limited.  

Join us for our Free Native Plant Swap at the Fort Collins Xeriscape Garden Party. You do not have to register to attend.

Learn about plant and pollinator connections with the help of volunteers as you select pollinator-friendly plants for YOUR garden and watch your backyard turn into a habitat for wildlife and a sanctuary for your friends and family.

Nothing to swap? No problem! Everyone is welcome to take home a limited number of plants. Please bring your own bag, basket, tray, or box to transport your plants home.

If you do have plants to donate, please check them in at the swap. If you want to drop off plants before the swap, email [email protected].

Join us as we revisit the major renovation of a mile-long stretch of Cherry Creek between Quebec and Iliff Streets in Denver, which was completed in 2022.  Before the renovation, this area was a wasteland with a deeply incised creek, few trees, lots of bare soil, and with a ragged collection of native and non-native plants.  In places the creek had dug a channel over twenty feet deep.  

Of greatest interest to Wild Ones members, the area was fully re-planted with native forbs, grasses, shrubs and trees.  The grasses and forbs were all planted as seeds.  A Wild Ones tour occurred four years ago during its first year of recovery.  There was a lot of bare ground, but plants were growing.  Come see how the native plants are doing after four years.

Check back for registration link. Meet up location subject to change!
