- Visit the Seed Library and take home seeds to start your own garden
- Enjoy garden workshops, crafts, and family-friendly activities (plus a yoga flashmob!)
- Connect with community partners like Wild Ones of Greater Baton Rouge, Master Naturalists, Baton Roots, and more
- Shop for native plants from Helping Hands Nursery and Rotglow Farm—or “adopt” a plant with Louisiana Wild Society
- Grab coffee and refreshments from House Brew Coffee & S.A.B.s Snowballs Food Truck
- We’ll wrap up the day with a community litter clean-up led by River McGlone and Keep Tigertown Beautiful.

Come dig in, get inspired, and help us grow a wilder, greener Baton Rouge!
