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!

Meadow Seed Sowing - Vassar College Community Gardens

Hosted by Wild Ones Mid-Hudson Valley Chapter
Saturday, December 14th, 2024
to (Eastern Time)
Vassar College Community Gardens @ the VC Farm & Preserve

Public Welcome Free Event Hands-On/How-To Workshop

Creating a Pollinator Meadow: Part II - Seed Sowing

If you’re thinking about reducing your lawn (and lawn mowing) and starting a meadow, this is a good opportunity to learn more.

Learn about native seed mixes,  and how to sow them in the same meadows that were prepared earlier this year. In May a section of lawn, formerly mown, was smothered with plastic tarp held down by sandbags. Now the tarp has been removed and we will sow the meadow seeds which will begin to germinate in the spring.

We will also talk about what to expect next year and the following years and how the meadow will be maintained in the future.

This is a free, public event  and requires registration. 

This is also a family friendly event and supervised children are welcome.

If you have any questions, please contact [email protected].
