For our first M2M (Member to Member) Yard tour we will be touring two member gardens in KenTon (Kenmore/Tonawanda) near Lincoln Park (Sheridan / NF Blvd area).    

One is house with LOTS of trees and a front yard packed with established shade plants.

The other is FULL SUN and clay with seasonal flooding.  This garden is still in progress, converted from lawn over the past 3 years.  Features rain garden, drainage swales, pond and other water management features along with a lot of native plants with baby shrubs and trees. 

If members are interested, they can stay after and walk to see the two rain gardens installed by Town of Tonawanda in Lincoln Park.

Public Welcome Recording Available Free Event Program/Speaker Presentation

The closing event of this year’s Less Lawn More Life Challenge, will be led by Lisa Olsen, Chapter Liaison at Wild Ones. In this webinar, you’ll learn how small, personal actions like planting native species and removing invasives, can ripple outward to inspire neighbors, change policies, and reshape communities. 

During the premiere, native plant experts from Wild Ones and collaborating organizations will be active in the live chat. They’ll be ready to answer questions, share tips, and connect viewers with resources. The live chat will remain open for 30 minutes after the webinar, giving you plenty of time to ask questions and engage. Please note: You must be logged into a YouTube account to participate in the chat. 

The Less Lawn More Life Challenge is a free, 12-week action series designed to help people transform traditional lawns into vibrant, life-supporting native plant habitat. Each week, participants complete a simple challenge like planting a native shrub, removing invasives, or observing pollinators to reimagine their outdoor space and take meaningful steps toward restoring biodiversity at home. 

It’s not too late to get involved. Catch up on the weekly videos and start your rewilding journey today at https://www.lesslawnmorelife.com/
