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!

Catching or just watching twinkling fireflies (aka lightning bugs) is a pleasant memory for many of us, but more and more people report seeing fewer fireflies than they once did. Join Go Native Brandermill & Wild Ones to discover the fascinating life history of the “Jewels of the Night” -- how they communicate, how many different kinds we have in Virginia, the environmental challenges they face, and how we can help them with small changes in our personal landscape routines.

Final description to come 
Wild Ones Greater Richmond Virginia Chapter will be tabling at this annual event hosted by the Henrico Master Gardener Association.  Admission is free.

Each year during this event, Master Gardeners sell plants from their gardens at discounted prices (including native plants), along with floral arrangements and gently used gardening items at the Garden Treasures table. The event also includes educational displays  and presentations from a range of sources, including master gardeners, master naturalists, and other informational exhibitors. Musical entertainment and a food truck (delicious stuff in 2024!) also are available. 

Chapter members are encouraged to attend this festival and, if you enjoy "talking native plants," to sign up for a shift at our exhibit table.  An email with signup links for upcoming volunteer opportunities will be sent to chapter members soon.  

A more detailed description of this event will be added when released by the event organizers.
