Wild Ones Capital Region NY Chapter

Welcome Members and anyone interested in learning more about native gardening

Serving:  Albany, Columbia, Greene, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady, & Schoharie Counties.

Our vision for the future is to have native plants and natural landscapes thriving in every community. We promote native landscapes through education, advocacy, and collaborative action.

How ever you choose to incorporate native plants – whether seeking ecoregion-specific species or mixing a few into your established cultivar bed, rewilding your entire property or potting natives for your balcony – your participation is welcome.

  • Explore the beauty of native plants on a hike or a home garden tour.

  • Become a member or active volunteer. Check us out at a cozy chat or membership meeting.
  • Just dig in with us at our Unity Demonstration Garden.
