Join us as we discusse phenology and it's importance in the natural world!

What is phenology? The word means “the study of phenomena” - so it literally refers to the study of things that appear or show themselves at certain times throughout the calendar year. 

Lucy Ellis, City of Chattanooga Department of Natural Resources, will be discussing what phenology is and how it relates to gardening and conservation landscaping. 

The goals of the class are to explain qualities that plants share with other living things, as well as characteristics that set them apart, and to become acquainted with the range of different organisms that make up the plant kingdom.

Be on the lookout: Once you have registered, we will email you with pre-course work and any other materials needed for this class.

Materials to bring! Notebook, pencils, snacks, water, and a lunch. This class will be both in and out of doors, please wear weather-appropriate clothing and footwear.

Registration Policy: 

As with all CNP classes, class size is limited. To give everyone the best opportunity to participate, there is a non-refundable cancellation fee of $10, with the balance refunded if you cancel at least 7 calendar days before the class will be held. If the class is cancelled by the instructor or the CNP program, registrants will get a full refund.

You don’t need to be a native plant expert! Just bring a friendly attitude, be a good listener, and use our cheat sheets to help guide conversations. It’s a fun way to make new connections while supporting Wild Ones' mission. 

Please bring a folding chair. We will be inside. You're welcome to bring a favorite native plant or themed book to brighten up the display. More details will be emailed to you before the event. 

Board members meet to discuss our chapter's progress and make decisions when necessary.

In this special collaboration, Robin Wall Kimmerer, author, botanist, and founder of Plant Baby Plant, joins youth leader and Nurture Natives founder Esther Bonney for an intergenerational conversation about belonging, reciprocity, and native plant action. 

Together, they will explore questions such as:

How do we create opportunities for young people to have a voice and feel empowered, even when they are not homeowners or decision makers?What kinds of relationships and mentorships help people stay engaged in native plant work over decades?Why do stories, shared practices, and community invitations matter just as much as plant lists?

Robin and Esther will reflect on what invites people into this work, what keeps them here, and what elders and youth have to teach each other.

Join us for Margaret Rasmussen from Gainesville, Georgia's Redbud Project, a model for green space preservation, to hear how paying attention to what is around you can lead conservation advocacy in directions which connect nature within our community to all aspects of health and wellness: Biodiversity, Indigenous American Cultural Heritage, Spirituality, and Physical Health. 

Who would have envisioned discovery of native plants tucked away in the Appalachian foothills of Georgia would lead to revival of the Cherokee’s heritage of regard for nature in the environmentally imperiled community? When a small group of concerned citizens formed the Redbud Project to promote awareness of the area’s unique natural habitats, they partnered with City of Gainesville  to develop leisure recreation in nature in exchange for opportunity to model environmental conservation and education. 
Volunteers developed and funded development of 32 acres of eco friendly trails intertwined through woodlands, wetlands and prairie; established a native plant conservatory for Homegrown National Park landscaping; and developed a community ecology center for conservation education. Discovery of a 300-year-old white oak, memorial marker tree to tribal elite who inhabited a village  on site in the early 1800’s, led to awareness of Cherokee heritage embedded in present day community and strengthened Redbud Project cause to conserve and preserve the unique natural habitats of Gainesville/Hall County, Georgia.

The Redbud Project: Model for Green Space Preservation

Margaret Byrd Rasmussen: I have studied wild flowers in all seven states and several countries where I resided In my long career as free lance writer, author, journalist, photographer, academic public relations and marketing, mother (my favorite). My first hook on native plants was on the Appalachian Trail  near Hollins, Virginia where I discovered valleys of trillium, lady slipper orchids and fields of wild asparagus.  But when I moved to the foothills of Georgia, I discovered plants I had never heard of in the incredibly biodiverse ecosystems of the Gainesville Ridges.  More than a passion to identify new native species trees, shrubs and forbs, native plants have become a panic to preserve these unique ecosystems of green space that are being bulldozed acre by acre in a matter of hours.  Only with sharing the panic...and passion if you will... with my fellow volunteers is there any hope for preservation of the ecological carrying capacity that sustains life on planet Earth.

Join Tennessee Valley Chapter of Wild Ones for our 7-class series in Ecological Gardening, taught by local experts who are passionate personal and professional ecological gardeners. You can attend classes as a series, or as standalone classes. 

Our first class is to help us get to know the elements of ecological gardening. We read and heard about these in our 2025 studies of Dr. Doug Tallamy's work. Haley Hamblen with the City of Chattanooga's RainSmart program will provide an overview of ecological gardening that each of the following classes will build upon. 

For those who didn't read Dr. Tallamy or hear him speak at our Distinguished Lecture Series, October 2025, the following is a little bit of what ecological gardening is about from Doug Tallamy's perspective. 

Doug Tallamy, an entomologist and author known for promoting ecological gardening through the "Homegrown National Park" initiative, outlines four essential, functional roles that every residential landscape should fulfill to support biodiversity: supporting a diverse food web, managing watersheds, sequestering carbon, and preserving pollinators. 

The 4 Pillars of Ecological Landscaping 

Support a Functional Food Web: Plant native species that host insects, particularly caterpillars, which are essential food for birds and other wildlife.Manage Local Watersheds: Use plants and groundcovers to absorb rainwater, reduce erosion, and filter pollutants, rather than relying on high-runoff lawn.Sequester Carbon: Utilize trees and plants to capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it in the soil.Support Pollinators: Plant a variety of native flowering plants that bloom throughout the season to provide habitat and food for native bees and butterflies. 

Key Actions for Implementation

Reduce Lawn Area: Shrink the amount of lawn to create more space for native, biodiversity-supporting plants.Use Native Plants: Replace non-native plants with native species, such as oak trees, which are considered "keystone" plants.Eliminate Pesticides/Mosquito Sprays: Avoid chemicals that kill beneficial insects and pollinators. 

Tallamy emphasizes that these actions transform, private properties into vital, interconnected wildlife corridors.

Speaker: Haley Hamblen, Water Quality Specialist - RainSmart Program Manager, City of Chattanooga, Public Works / Engineering

Our upcoming webinar with Basil Camu explores practical, evidence based ways to heal suburban and urban landscapes by working with trees, soil, and natural systems, drawing on real world practices from Leaf & Limb and community centered models for restoring life where we live, work, and play.!  

About this class: The goals of the class are to discuss plant cell and tissue types and major vegetative structures, explore reproduction, and sample some of the strategies and structures that plants use to continue life from generation to generation. 

Be on the lookout: Once you have registered, we will email you with pre-course work and any other materials needed for this class.

Materials to bring! Notebook, pencils, a 10X Magnifier, snacks, water, and a lunch. This class will be both in and out of doors, please wear weather-appropriate clothing and footwear.

Join us for a discussion of Mary Reynolds' inspiring book The Garden Awakening. This book is based in the UK, and though plants mentioned in it are not native to our bioregion, the spirit of it's principles of healing the earth, its fascinating ideas for natural design and its encouragement for gardeners to foster a meaningful, reciprocal connection with the land will resonate with Wild Ones. 

From Mary Reynolds' website about The Garden Awakening--Designs to Nurture Our Lands and Ourselves,  (Also go to the website to watch an endorsement from the late Jane Goodall.):

After many years as an internationally acclaimed garden designer, Mary Reynolds finally realised that something was amiss in her gardens; they were failing on some level. Unwilling to remain as she had imagined and sculpted them, the gardens could not help following their true nature. They were not still life paintings. The land had dreams and intentions of its own…

Mary set out to discover what these intentions were, exploring how we might build a relationship with our gardens that encourages the truth of the land to be expressed alongside our own truth and creativity.

Inside The Garden Awakening is the forgotten bible of gardening. Mary divined and collected old ways of working with land from before we lost the connection with the earth beneath our feet. None of this information is new; it is all ancient, forgotten knowledge and wisdom, buried in the roots of our ancient cultures and within the depths of the earth itself.

Mary has spent a lifetime learning how to live gently with the land, weaving the knowledge out of her own stories, experiences and dreams and bringing it into the light in a way that rips away any mystery or separation from the worlds of energy and spirit around us, and the world of the earth beneath us.

The Garden Awakening is a blueprint for a ground-breaking garden, but it is not a solitary space. Instead it aims to be the foundation of a world wide web of ever expanding, living, interconnected ecosystems. Places where people and nature are one and creation and interrelation expands. You will never be able to look at your garden in the same way again…

Everything becomes simple if you immerse yourself in nature. Life’s complications melt away, leaving only the truth of the present moment, and the presence of what I call God. In this place we can see our soul reflected in every living thing, every gust of wind and splash of rain, and here we can find peace. This is our true home. Yet we are losing what little wild places we have left in nature, those corners where the spirits of the earth are flowing freely, where harmony, and balance still exists and we feel accepted for the truth of who we are. We have gone off course and need to find our way again. An old pathway, overgrown and forgotten, is waiting impatiently to lead us back home. Nature is willing us on.

Join us to hear Barbara Johnson, member of the Chattanooga Chapter of the Tennessee Ornithological Society, Vice President for Programs speak on the connection of plants and the timing of bird migration. 

How can we lay the best botanical table for the birds coming, going, and raising families here in Eastern Tennessee? Migrating and nesting birds have always relied on abundant fuel high in fat and protein to navigate the challenges of weather, geography, and competition. They must also find species-specific shelter and nesting sites. Add to those challenges diminishing habitat, invasive plants, climate change and human-built dangers. How can we help? As citizens and landowners, we can choose which plant communities to protect and implement, to best support these beautiful, necessary inhabitants of the web of life. Bring on the bugs, berries and branches! 

Barbara Johnson grew up in Kansas and lived in Maryland before retiring to Chattanooga in 2019. She studied Biology at the University of Kansas and worked as an elephant keeper, an ecological guide, an educational consultant, and a breathwork practitioner. She and her husband built a house in 2007 on the outskirts of Annapolis and landscaped two acres with native plants (with the exception of a few Korean viburnum!)  She began birding as a college student in the Flint Hills of Kansas. She served as president of the Maryland Ornithological Society, and now serves as the program chair for Chattanooga’s chapter of the Tennessee Ornithological Society.

This course explores how native plants can transform your home landscape into a thriving habitat for birds. Participants will learn the essential elements birds need—food, water, shelter, and nesting sites—and how to provide these using regionally appropriate native plants. The class will cover plant selection, seasonal considerations, and design strategies that attract a variety of bird species while supporting local ecosystems. Perfect for homeowners, gardeners, and nature enthusiasts who want to create sustainable, bird-friendly spaces.
 

Registration Policy:  As with all CNP classes, class size is limited. To give everyone the best opportunity to participate, there is a non-refundable cancellation fee of $10, with the balance refunded if you cancel at least 7 calendar days before the class will be held. If the class is cancelled by the instructor or the CNP program, registrants will get a full refund.

If the class fills up, you may email [email protected] and request to be put on the wait list. This does not guarantee a spot will open up. 

Please remember that we are all volunteers and deserve grace and patience.

Join Tennessee Valley Chapter of Wild Ones for our 7-class series in Ecological Gardening, taught by local experts who are passionate personal and professional ecological gardeners. You can attend classes as a series, or as standalone classes. 

The second class in the series will focus on plants' sociability. At the heart of Ecological Landscaping and Gardening is considering and matching the needs of the land as well as the needs of the plants. We will never be successful in bending nature to our will, but we can be better stewards by taking into consideration the natural tendencies of the plants when deciding how and where to use them in the landscape. 

In this talk you will learn regional plant communities and behaviors and how that applies to your yard. You will also become familiar with the pioneers of ecological landscaping and gardening in the United States, and resources that can further cultivate your knowledge base when it comes to ecological gardening.

Workshop presenter: Bill Moll, Active Ecological Gardener, long-time member of Tennessee Valley Chapter of Wild Ones

Have you ever wondered how plants are able to travel across a landscape? Most of us are familiar with the seeds that are able to be blown by the wind (think milkweed, dandelions, trees that produce ‘helicopter seeds’ like elm and maple. 
What about non ‘flighty’ seeds? What is their strategy for dispersal? Who have they partnered with over millennia to ‘carry’ out this job for them? 
Were you able to take the class with Jay Clark at the Shirley Miller Wildflower Trail? How did the bluebells and other spring ephemerals move around the cove?

Workshop Overview
This hands-on course introduces participants to the fascinating world of ants and their
ecological roles in native plant gardens. Through field-based observation and interactive
activities, learners will identify common ant species found in gardens and nearby habitats, investigate how ants disperse seeds, form mutualistic partnerships, and exploit
resources—ultimately influencing the composition and health of native plant communities.

This class will be taught by Dr. DeAnna Beasley, UTC professor and researcher.

Registration opens mid March

Join us for a book discussion of Margaret Renkl's The Comfort of Crows: a Backyard Year

Renkl write 52 stories for each week of the year, and we will be discussing the first half on June 22nd and the second on October 26!

In The Comfort of Crows, Margaret Renkl presents a literary devotional: fifty-two chapters that follow the creatures and plants in her backyard over the course of a year. As we move through the seasons--from a crow spied on New Year's Day, its resourcefulness and sense of community setting a theme for the year, to the lingering bluebirds of December, revisiting the nest box they used in spring--what develops is a portrait of joy and grief: joy in the ongoing pleasures of the natural world, and grief over winters that end too soon and songbirds that grow fewer and fewer.

Along the way, we also glimpse the changing rhythms of a human life. Grown children, unexpectedly home during the pandemic, prepare to depart once more. Birdsong and night-blooming flowers evoke generations past. The city and the country where Renkl raised her family transform a little more with each passing day. And the natural world, now in visible flux, requires every ounce of hope and commitment from the author--and from us. For, as Renkl writes, "radiant things are bursting forth in the darkest places, in the smallest nooks and deepest cracks of the hidden world."

With fifty-two original color artworks by the author's brother, Billy Renkl, The Comfort of Crows is a lovely and deeply moving book from a cherished observer of the natural world.
