Discover how ecological landscaping with native plants can make your landscape more resilient and help address the climate crisis. This webinar will highlight practical, evidence-based approaches to designing and maintaining landscapes that build resilience to climate change and support native biodiversity. Join Wild Ones for a free webinar, “EcoBeneficial Landscape Strategies for the Climate Crisis,” featuring environmental horticulturalist and ecological landscape designer Kim Eierman.

The Baton Rouge Audubon Society's September program features Janine Kharey, founding president of Wild Ones of Greater Baton Rouge. Janine’s program will focus on the fascinating world of native plants and their crucial role in supporting pollinator biodiversity in planned gardens. This program delves into the intricate relationships between specific native plants and the diverse pollinators they attract, including hoverflies, beetles, bees, moths, and butterflies. You'll learn about the unique characteristics of different pollinator groups and the specific plants and design elements that cater to their needs. This comprehensive look at native plants and pollinators empowers you to create a garden that is not only beautiful but also a thriving sanctuary for a wide array of beneficial insects.

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. 

Wild Ones Chapter Members have been busy collecting seeds from our certified habitats.

This is the fourth year that we have met to offer seeds and to accept donations to fill our supply for our various projects throughout the year.

You don’t need to bring seeds to attend. But if you do, please be sure to label them as accurately as you can. (Ask us how)

If you are not a chapter member, we ask that you be prepared to help us cover the cost associated with the meeting by paying $5.00 at the door.

If you’d like to become a member or contribute a donation to help us offer more free programs in the future visit greaterbatonrouge.WildOnes.org - join or donate.
