 Don’t know how to start a native plant garden or can’t afford one? 

We are collaborating with Ecoplantia to promote our “Starter Gardens”.  

Our Starter Gardens come with your very own Wild Ones Mentor to guide you in site selection, planting  and maintaining your garden,  and advice along your garden journey.

 Our launch date for this program is Sept 20th. 

 We will launch this fall with 20 Starter Gardens, including 8 free gardens. Each garden costs $40 and includes 6 plants and mulch.
