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 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.

WONA Member-only Spring garden tour: Woodring HOA Native Garden Members Only
Hosted by Wild Ones North Alabama ChapterMembers Only Family-Friendly Free Event Home/Private Garden Tour Group Tour
Denise planned and designed her suburban garden to be a pollinator habitat and to attract hummingbirds and birds. She lives in a newer subdivision with an HOA and moved into her new house in 2020. The flower beds were installed in the spring of 2020. The entire front yard is a native perennial flower bed with pathways through the garden. The backyard slopes down to a pond and has a 1,000 sq ft native perennial flower bed in the middle of the yard. The backyard also includes flower beds planted with native trees and shrubs and a bubbling rock water feature.
This is a WildOnes member-only event. You must be a current member (individual, business or household) to tour the property. Tours are one of the perks of a WildOnes membership. This tour will be held in both the Spring and Fall to demonstrate how native gardens change across time.
