The Wild Ones of Keweenaw Hospitality Committee invites all WOK members to a get together at Beviamo Vino (the wine bar) in Houghton on Saturday afternoon April 25th from 3:00 to 4:30. You can enjoy a drink, snack, or just talking about native plants with fellow native plant enthusiasts!

This event has been rescheduled from April 25.

Wild Ones Wayne County (WOWC) Seeds to Community is happy to host our 2nd Annual Up-Potting Workshop at the EIC!

This event is an opportunity to come together and share the abundance seedlings from winter sowing. Bring your containers from winter sowing to up-pot seedlings and swap species with fellow community members! There will be additional stratified seeds from WOWC that will be ready to plant as well as seeds not requiring cold stratification. We would love for you to go home with the plants you would like for your space! 

For those that are more ambitious or looking to make an even bigger impact, we are planning to plant seeds in trays to grow additional plants to be used by WOWC for upcoming planting projects, and we could use your help.

This is a free event and potting soil and containers will be provided. Register using the “Register” button below. While there is no cost to register, donations are suggested to cover cost of materials and support the program for the future!

If you are interested in volunteering at this event, please fill out a short volunteer interest form.

The Wild Ones Red Cedar Chapter will be selling a wide variety of native Michigan wildflowers, sedges and grasses at the Meridian Township Farmers' Market. The plants are grown by Bendy Stem Farm in Dimondale Michigan and owner Ben Crocker will be on site to answer your questions. We will have plants that support birds, bees and butterflies. Add some native plants to your landscape and watch it come to life!

Proceeds from this fundraiser will help the Wild Ones Red Cedar Chapter continue our educational programs and provide grants to help establish native gardens in the greater Lansing area. Thank you for your support!
