Chapter Events

Join Joey Santore, creator of Crime Pays But Botany Doesn’t, for a candid Wild Ones National Webinar examining how inherited garden aesthetics shape native plant landscapes. Drawing on field experience and real ecology, Joey challenges tidy design norms and explores why dense, irregular plant communities are often the most resilient and ecologically sound.

6:30 pm meet/greet, 7 pm chapter program

Tired of battling invasive plants on your own? Learn how to use aggressive native plants to outcompete invasives and restore ecosystems. This program will cover questions like seed vs. plugs, when to plant, and what to expect when using aggressive plant species as competition. Invasive buckthorn, honeysuckle, and tansy will be the focus, but these techniques can be adapted for competing with other invasive species too.
