Chapter Events

For people either on or ready to begin their native plant journey!  This presentation provides advice and resources to help with planning, sourcing, selecting and planting these wonderful life-supporting plants. Guests will also meet the “Super Nine,” native plants selected by South Bend Wild Ones for their size, adaptability, beauty, and benefit to wildlife. 

Join our Speakers Bureau Coordinator, Jan McGowan, as she spreads the Wild Ones message in our communities!

Help maintain the native garden at the Potawatomi Zoo.  We will meet in the parking lot. We are working before the zoo opens, so please be on time so there will be someone to let you in. Bring along gardening gloves and weeding tools.

Get inspired by seeing how Wild Ones members are protecting biodiversity by planting native gardens. During this series of yard tours, you'll see firsthand how they've used native plants to build sustainable and vibrant landscapes.  Drop by one or all of the opportunities, to get ideas, ask questions, and enjoy the beauty of native plants.

Wild Ones own, Brian Killen  will discuss the basics of landscaping with native plants. 

"Over the past few years, I set out on my journey to convert my property into a pollinator and bird-friendly landscape by gardening with native plants, removing lawn, and creating habitat. In order to help other home gardeners in their native landscaping pursuits, I wanted to share what I have learned, including the basics of native plants, planting, design,
and maintenance."
