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. 

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.

Join EBRPL and Louisiana Wild Society on Saturday, November 8, from 8 a.m.–3 p.m. at the Main Library at Goodwood as we plant a brand-new, large-scale native plant pollinator garden—and we need your help!

Throughout the day, you can:
- Learn about native plants and the pollinators they support
- Get hands-on planting experience & discover root-pruning techniques
- 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!

Don't miss the “Garden Discoveries Presents: What You Plant Can Make a Difference” presentation by WildOnes GBR President, Janine Kharey at 10AM!

The Baton Rouge Botanic Garden Foundation is hosting a FREE Garden Discoveries event, “What You Plant Can Make a Difference” led by Janine Kharey, Master Naturalist, Master Gardener and President of Wild Ones Greater Baton Rouge.

Plants are the foundation for healthy ecosystems, but not all plants are equal in what they contribute. This presentation will introduce you to the plants that you can include in your garden that make the most difference in the greater Baton Rouge region. When you know what to plant even small spaces can make a big impact. 

Weather permitting a tour will follow of the Baton Rouge Botanic Gardens adjacent to the Library. 

Details coming soon! 

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.
