Discover how ecological landscaping with native plants can make your landscape more resilient and help address the climate crisis. This webinar will highlight practical, evidence-based approaches to designing and maintaining landscapes that build resilience to climate change and support native biodiversity. Join Wild Ones for a free webinar, “EcoBeneficial Landscape Strategies for the Climate Crisis,” featuring environmental horticulturalist and ecological landscape designer Kim Eierman.

Yards filled with native plants often don’t look like the tidy lawns many people expect.  Many neighbors see these as “messy” and so “neglected.”   We will discuss how you can have an ecologically rich yard AND show it’s cared for!

For our September Wild Ones WNY event we will be open to the public at the public library in Cheektowaga.   Board members Ken Parker and Devon Southall will be sharing examples of what Wild Ones calls “Cues to Care”  and leading a collaborative discussion of other ways we can show care in our gardens.   Mix and Mingle at 6pm, presentation 6:30-7:30 (Library closes at 8pm)

Help us with this presentation!  Share photos at this link:  https://forms.gle/rwEvoER47VKjhavF9   We will gift a native plant sign to one lucky contributor.  (Pickup at the meeting or in Tonawanda)

Please register so we have an idea of expected attendance. Thanks!

Even after reading books and attending talks, many still have pressing questions about ecological landscaping. In this talk, Tallamy addresses common concerns on biodiversity, invasive species, native plants, and conservation strategies, providing practical guidance and motivation to restore nature in everyday spaces. 

This meeting is open to the public. There will be  a Mix and Mingle time, 6-6:30pm, to meet and talk informally with each other. Beginning at 6:30 pm, we will have a panel of native plant experts discussing challenges and solutions for our landscapes.  Our panel of experts includes local nursery professionals Kathy Contrino, CW Native Plant Farm, Ken Parker, Native Plant Guy and Primeval Forest staff. 

If you have specific questions, you can submit them in advance on the registration form or ask them in the meeting. Our focus is supporting your native plant journey and supporting local ecology.  

 We look forward to seeing you!

Designing with native plants isn’t just about what you grow, it’s about how you shape your space.
