Butterfly Gardening 101: How to Support Ohio Wildlife With Your Garden will be an introduction to re-wilding presented by Kelsey Vance.  

In addition to an adult presentation, a simultaneous program for  school-aged children will be provided downstairs to make it easier for the entire family to learn the basics of re-wilding and attracting butterflies to your yard.

A bog can serve the same functions as a traditional rain garden but has the advantages of being low maintenance, climate resilient and attractive for a much longer part of the year.

David Marsolo is a long time Wild Ones member. He has been maintaining artificial bogs at his suburban Westerville home for about 20 years. He will describe how to install a bog and fill it with many interesting native plants including pollinator and host plants. 

Join me in a social gathering to help package our native seed mix for distribution on April 25th during the Pickerington Earth Day event of which we are one of the hosting parties. Seed packaging will occur indoors in my private residence so the address will be available closer to the time and date of the event. 

Below you find a link to indicate your intention to volunteer as well as a link to Earth day volunteer opportunities and our free native tree giveaway.
