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.

A Sparling Toast will help us all celebrate the launch of the book Native Plants for Michiana: Planting with Nature and Beauty in Mind. A panel from the book committee will discuss the book including Doug Botka of Shirley Heinze, Wild Ones member Emily McKnight, Lamanda Hilty from Love Creek Nature Center, Kyle Strain from Wellfield Botanical Gardens, and Dr. Deb Marr, Professor of Biology at IUSB. 

The book will be available for purchase for $8 cash or check.

Purchase native plants from local nurseries and talk to our community partners.
