Events

All members are invited to join the next Wild Ones Mid-Hudson Valley leadership team meeting on Wednesday, January 15 at 6 pm on zoom. We will be discussing a range of topics. Interested members-volunteers are welcome to join. If you would like to attend, please get in touch with us at [email protected]. As a new chapter, we have a lot we're doing and planning, and we appreciate our members' participation!

Planting for pollinators and buying native plants can get expensive. Winter seed sowing into containers is one way to reduce that expense. In this workshop you will learn how to sow seeds in winter. A container can hold as many as 100 seedlings of a single species—seedlings which can be replanted to your garden or landscape. You will leave with two planted containers after which you can continue to expand your native plantings with more seed sowing this winter.

The workshop will be facilitated by Sara DeAngelis from Wild Ones Mid-Hudson Valley. Sara is a consultant and educator. She has been studying ecological landscape principles and has extensive experience with native plants.

Registration required and will be available mid-December.

$20 includes all materials for two containers.

This is a public event.   Subscribe to our monthly newsletter to receive program announcements. Carpooling for this event is encouraged. If you have any questions please contact [email protected]

The Gardiner Library and Wild Ones Mid-Hudson Valley are hosting a native plant sale again this year.
Plants are $4 each. Cash or check preferred. Debit/credit available.

These small plants, called landscape plugs, are much less expensive than container plants and an excellent way to keep costs down while trying out some new plants.

Proceeds to benefit the library.

To ensure that we have enough plants available this year:

-We have increased the number of plants to 1600.
-We will limit the quantity to 1/2 flat per customer (either 16 or 25 plants depending on flat size). Please note that anyone interested in purchasing more than the 1/2 flat limit should contact Angela Sisson at [email protected] to see about making arrangements for a larger purchase.

Plant species available at this year’s sale include:

Wild Columbine (Aquilegia canadensis)
Swamp Milkweed (Asclepias incarnata) 
Butterfly Weed (Asclepias tuberosa)
False Blue Indigo (Baptisia australis)
Longflower Alumroot (Heuchera longiflora)
