Chapters in Ohio

This hands-on event is for beginner and experienced seed cleaners. Wild Ones member Lauren Clark will lead a session demonstrating how to clean native seeds in preparation for our annual Seed Swap (scheduled for January 9, 2027). If you are new to seed cleaning, you'll learn seed cleaning techniques from more experienced chapter members.

Feel free to bring your own native seed to learn how to clean it. Please, native seeds only! Remember to label them in advance with the common name and botanical / latin name.

Note: non-native seeds won't be permitted to prevent possible contamination with native seeds. Seeds will be registered upon entry.

We invite you to our Wild Ones Greater Cleveland monthly chapter meeting!

Join WOGC Board Member, Community Science Chair and Lorain County Regional Coordinator Ray Stewart for a workshop that will walk you through the 'how' and the 'why' of seed preparation. Winter Sowing uses a technique that turns an ordinary gallon milk or water jug into a greenhouse. This technique provides the appropriate conditions for Ohio native perennial seeds to sprout when spring comes around. Native Ohio plants are needed to support our local pollinators like butterflies and bees and to provide critical resources for birds and other wildlife.

Attendees will need to bring along a clean jug. The library may be able to provide a limited number of clean jugs, but we cannot guarantee how many will be available. All other supplies including potting soil, native seeds, and basic tools will be provided. 

This program is intended for adults and is suitable for children ages 12+. Minors under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Registration is required. Register below or call the library at 440-988-4230.

Join fellow native plant lovers for a native seed cleaning and packing social.

We'll spend a few hours processing and packaging locally collected native seed, helping make these important plants more accessible to our community while preparing for future restoration and gardening efforts.

This is a great opportunity to connect with other members, learn a bit about native seed stewardship, and lend a hand to a meaningful project.

Please register through the event link for the address and so we can plan accordingly for this event. We hope to see you there!
