Wild Ones: Native Plants, Natural Landscapes promotes environmentally sound landscaping practices to preserve biodiversity through the preservation, restoration and establishment of native plant communities.
Here are our Wild Ones Habitat Gardening in Central New York chapter bylaws.
From September through April, we have monthly programs, which are free and open to the public. We also have an annual field trip in the spring and Show Me, Help Me tours in the summer.
Our plant sales help get native plants planted out there in CNY and, equally important, support local native plant nurseries, helping make native plants easier to obtain and the common sense default choice for home landscapes.
