Garden Tours
Every year during the growing season, Wild Ones Capital Region NY sponsors a series of garden tours. If you would like to open your garden for members to see, please contact us at [email protected]. We run tours of both emerging native gardens and well-established gardens. We’re happy to look and just as happy to answer questions we all. Watch our upcoming events to sign up for tours.
Volunteer Opportunities
There are many events/activities to plan such as the annual Native Seed Celebration, plant propagation & sales, meet & hikes, garden tours, speakers bureau, advocacy, and more! We have different committees, which meet as needed. Use this form to show your interest and we will contact you! Note: we appreciate any time volunteered whether it is two hours per year, or several hours per week! We definitely understand that life can pull us away from our garden passion!
Speakers Bureau
Community organizations frequently request a live talk for their members. If you have ever had an interest in sharing your knowledge and passion of native plants and ecological landscaping through a presentation consider joining our group of presenters. Reach out to Donna Lee at [email protected]. We can help you create a presentation if you are interested in being a presenter. Also, please see that archived webinars under the Events section.
