Chapters in Connecticut

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!

Public Welcome Paid Event Hands-On/How-To Workshop Public Restroom Free Public Parking

There’s nothing more satisfying to a gardener than growing plants from seed. From wildflowers and perennials to trees and shrubs, success can be achieved if you understand what and when to collect to make it happen. Following a lecture in the classroom, we will collect seeds from the Arboretum grounds. Bring hand pruners if you have them.  You will leave class with numerous seeds to care for.

This program will be led by Maggie Redfern (Director, Connecticut College Arboretum).

There will be a small fee to attend (discounted for members)

More information and registration coming soon.
