If you do not find a chapter near you, or if you choose not to be part of a Wild Ones chapter, you may choose to be a Partner At Large (PAL). A PAL is not assigned to a chapter but joins a group of members who work solo in their own communities or simply enjoy the benefits of a Wild Ones membership. Either way – as a chapter member or as a PAL, you receive all the benefits of membership. Join Now!

WONA Member-only Spring garden tour: Scott ephemeral landscape Members Only
Hosted by Wild Ones North Alabama ChapterScott family property
Members Only Free Event Home/Private Garden Tour
The Scotts have a 40 acre property divided into two 20-acre parcels on either side of the road. On one side is a creek that is carpeted with Virginia Bluebells, phlox, larkspur, and other native spring ephemerals under a canopy of buckeye and red mulberry. It is easy to walk among the bluebells and other wildflowers. Across the road, the Scott's house is nestled into the side of Backbone Mountain, which includes an easy half-mile trail with a different assemblage of Spring ephemerals, including wild ginger, bloodroot, Dutchman's breeches, shooting star, Jacob's Ladder, Pawpaw and many others. There is also a plant building with a covered porch where visitors can rest and view birds and the mountains. This is a wild, shaded woodland garden & landscape tour that showcases some of Alabama's most beautiful and iconic Spring ephemeral wildflowers.

Mark your calendar: WONA is coming to Panoply! If you are passionate about educating the public about native gardens and why they are so critical, we need your help! If you enjoy creating art with children while educating them about our beautiful native plants, we need your help! WONA will have a booth at Panoply this year, April 25-27, and our success depends on our volunteers. Any support or design expertise you can provide is valuable. More information to follow. We need dozens of volunteers to fill the 3-day event, so if you can help, we need you. Please send a message to WildOnes with your interest (subject line “Panoply”), so we can fill the needed slots - and feel free to bring a friend who is passionate about educating children, their parents and the general public about native plants. Many hands make light work.
