Wild Roots Market

(not just a Wild Ones native plant sale!) 

SATURDAY | JUNE 14, 2025

Noon to 3:00 pm

Wentworth Ave just south of 98th Street in Bloomington

Wild Ones Twin Cities is going back to an old school plant share with a twist. We're hosting a Free Will Offering marketplace with member donated native plants plus native plant gardening related items, books, tools and yard ornaments. We are taking every step to ensure that protocols are followed to prevent the accidental spread of invasive species.

Do you have any native plants or garden related items that need a new home?

Watch for an email with details on what donations we are accepting and how to prepare plants for donation. Meanwhile, look for native plants you may have too many of, consider sharing some of your winter sown bounty, or tools and other garden related items you no longer need.

Bareroot Clinic and Potting Sessions

We currently have host sites for three Bareroot Clinics and Potting sessions. Our first clinic was Monday, May 19th at the home of Karen Parker. We managed to clean and pot about 10 flats of donated plants in just a few hours! The next two clinics are in Bloomington on May 29 and in Eagan on either June 4 or 5, depending on weather. If you want more information, contact Julia Vanatta, her email address is on chapter website.

17th Annual Monarch Festival – Festival de la Monarca

The next Minneapolis Monarch Festival will occur on Saturday, September 6th, 2025, from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. The Festival celebrates the monarch butterfly amazing 2,300 mile migration from Minnesota to Mexico with music, food, dance, hands-on art, native plant sales and plenty of opportunities to get up close with monarch butterflies, learn about their habitats, and what you can do to make a difference.

The Festival will be held just east of the Lake Nokomis Community Center in the area bounded by E. Minnehaha Parkway, Woodlawn Boulevard, and E. Nokomis Parkway. Map & Directions.

Like Monarch Butterfly this time of year, we are busy! The festival is coordinating with our artist friends and science colleagues to bring you activities and learning opportunities at the 2025 Monarch Festival.
