Annual Meeting, Seed Exchange and Volunteer Recognition Pizza Party

Please join us to celebrate another amazing year as we reflect on all the educational programs, tours, plant sale and community events where volunteers like you brought our message out into the greater Twin Cities area.

We'll start the evening with Pizza and a Seed Exchange with ample time to socialize, followed by a brief and official Annual Meeting to elect chapter officers for 2026. We've also invited members who are Artists to showcase their work and share a little about how their love and passion for native plants has influenced their art or craft. 
Do you have native plant seeds to share? 
Start collecting and bring seeds in containers or small sleeve envelopes. Label with common and scientific name along with any pertinent information about date and location seeds were collected.
Are you a chapter member and artist?
Please contact Susan Van Baerle at [email protected]  to receive an invite to showcase your work. More details will be sent out in a letter to active members. 
Would like more information about joining our chapter leadership team?
We have several board members stepping down this year and look forward to a new generation of Wild One members stepping up to carry our chapter and mission into the future. Please contact any chapter leader or email [email protected] for more information.

Reflecting on our last program at Wood Lake Nature Center prior to their closing to rebuild. We look forward to returning to Wood Lake in the future.  

Discover the power of ecological garden design in this free national webinar, Living in the Liberated Landscape: My Yard, with award-winning landscape designer Larry Weaner. Join us for a personal look at how dynamic, self-sustaining landscapes can emerge when we partner with nature instead of controlling it. Drawing on more than 35 years of experience, Larry will share practical strategies for designing dynamic gardens that evolve naturally, support biodiversity, and bring lasting beauty to your yard.

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.
