Chapter Events

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. 

Not all annual meetings are boring! We have plenty planned to hold your interest, including multiple plants to give away, an overview of our year, and voting on new members for your Board of Directors.

And food! Bring a dish to share, and we'll provide drinks. If you can, bring your own plate and utensils for a more sustainable potluck.

We will also be giving away two memberships to a non-member who has attended at least three meetings this year.

Note that this date is a week earlier than our usual meeting and will start at 6 pm for the potluck.

Discover the power of ecological garden design in this free national webinar, Living in the Liberated Landscape: My Yard, with award-winning landscape designer Larry Weaner. Join us for a personal look at how dynamic, self-sustaining landscapes can emerge when we partner with nature instead of controlling it. Drawing on more than 35 years of experience, Larry will share practical strategies for designing dynamic gardens that evolve naturally, support biodiversity, and bring lasting beauty to your yard.

Designing with native plants isn’t just about what you grow, it’s about how you shape your space. In this hands-on workshop, Zoe Evans (Plan it Wild) and Heather Evans (Design Your Wild) guide you through the process of creating a cohesive yard plan that supports both your lifestyle and biodiversity.

Grow your own native perennials from seed! Experienced grower Sharon Burnham will demonstrate two different methods for starting native perennials. We’ll talk about the basic requirements for most seeds: cold and moisture. We’ll demonstrate how to imitate nature by using the refrigerator and freezer or by seeding pots with a method to yield the best success. We’ll also talk about other aspects of seed starting, how to research each plant, and what to do once they’ve sprouted. 

We'll also be distributing seeds for you to take home!
