All members are invited to join the next Wild Ones Mid-Hudson Valley leadership team meeting on zoom. We will be discussing a range of topics including ongoing business and chapter operations.

Interested members 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!

In this special collaboration, Robin Wall Kimmerer, author, botanist, and founder of Plant Baby Plant, joins youth leader and Nurture Natives founder Esther Bonney for an intergenerational conversation about belonging, reciprocity, and native plant action. 

Together, they will explore questions such as:

How do we create opportunities for young people to have a voice and feel empowered, even when they are not homeowners or decision makers?What kinds of relationships and mentorships help people stay engaged in native plant work over decades?Why do stories, shared practices, and community invitations matter just as much as plant lists?

Robin and Esther will reflect on what invites people into this work, what keeps them here, and what elders and youth have to teach each other.

Wild Ones Mid-Hudson Valley is kicking off our book club! For January we will be reading The Case for Native Plants by Jeremy Wuolle. We will meet at the Kingston Library in the small conference room from 10 am to 11:30 am. See the registration link below to sign up.

Seed sowing in the winter?  Yes!  Most native plant seeds require a cold period before they send out roots and shoots.  We'll show you one way that it's done, using potting soil and milk jugs.  Come prepared to get your hands in the soil.  Each participant will take home a planted jug.    This workshop is a joint workshop with Vassar College.  Registration is required.

Interested in going one step further?  We are looking for volunteers to grow out these winter sown seeds for a WO plant sale this fall.  We'll also be working with students to begin the year's propagation for Vassar's  native propagation program.

Limited to 20 participants.  $10 per person suggested donation, if not growing out plants.  Donations can be made via the WO MHV website or at the event.

Garden Enthusiasts Meetup: From Lawn to Habitat - No Registration Required

What if our yards could be more than just lawn?

Join us for the next Garden Enthusiasts Meetup as local gardener and Wild Ones Board Member Alexandra Lotero Vanderkam shares a welcoming, photo-rich talk on transforming a conventional yard into a thriving native habitat. Over the past few years, she transformed her property from turf grass into a layered landscape featuring a woodland garden, hedgerow, pond, and seeded meadow—now alive with birds, pollinators, and other wildlife.

In the spirit of this casual, community meetup, this session is less about “perfect gardens” and more about the real process: experimenting, learning, and adapting over time. Alexandra will share what worked, what didn’t, and how she approached challenges like deer pressure, site conditions, and phased planting.

Whether you’re just starting out, curious about native plants, or already deep into gardening, you’re invited to come, get inspired, and join the conversation. There will be plenty of time for Q&A, idea-sharing, and discussion.

No registration is required!

Where: Boardman Road Branch Library, 141 Boardman Road, Poughkeepsie, NY, 12603

When: Tuesday, May 12  (second Tuesday of the month)

Time:  6 to 8 pm.

Flying Trillium Gardens and Preserve is located in the southern Catskill Mountains in Sullivan County, NY. The gardens are an ongoing work by author, teacher, and landscape designer, Carolyn Summers. Throughout her career, Carolyn has been acutely aware of the need for clients, DIY homeowners, and designers to be able to see how lovely native plants are when used in garden settings. The Catskills – mostly in a Zone 5 climate – makes an excellent test for fitness and hardiness. In addition to managed gardens, large areas of the property are preserved to protect native flora in their natural habitats, along with the wildlife that depend on them. We invite you to come and experience the beauty, diversity and sustainability of the native flora for yourself. These gardens will leave you inspired to plant more of the same.

This tour has been cancelled due to weather.

There is another tour scheduled to Flying Trillium on August 29th.

If you have any questions, please contact [email protected].

Teatown is a 1,000-acre preserve with 230 species of native wildflowers. We will be visiting the two-acre Wildflower Island, a refuge that is home to an amazing array of wildflowers, trees, shrubs, ferns, grasses, sedges, and rushes. Because it is on an island, this two acre jewel has become a sanctuary for species that are now under huge pressure from our deer population. We will be led by volunteers through the winding trails to see what is in bloom and to learn more about this spectacular preserve. 

This event is free but requires registration. Information on the event will be shared with all who register.

Join us for a visit to Stonecrop Gardens. Known for its dramatic landscape of windswept fields and rocky slopes, Stonecrop is located in Cold Spring, NY. The gardens were created by Garden Conservancy founder Frank Cabot and his wife Anne. The garden’s mission is to inspire gardeners to explore the variety of plants and to experiment in the garden. Though these gardens are not exclusively or even primarily planted with natives, we will be focusing on design principles. The woodland, cliff rock garden, and water gardens can provide inspiration to those who are interested in creating naturalistic garden designs using native. We will receive an orientation to the garden and then as a group explore the woodlands together collecting ideas that can be applied to shade gardens using native species. After that you’ll be free to explore on your own the cliff rock gardens, alpine gardens, etc. on a self guided tour.

There is a $10 general admission ($5 for seniors 65+) to Stonecrop Garden which will be collected at the site. Registration is required with a limit of 20 people.

From Lawn to Habitat

Please join us for a self-directed garden tour at a private residence. Alexandra Lotero Vanderkam, Wild Ones Mid-Hudson Valley Membership Chair, is hosting a tour of her home landscape. You can see how she changed her conventional landscape into a naturalized garden supporting wildlife and native plants.

Alex describes the process: “When we moved to our 5-acre property in 2020, nearly two acres around the house were lawn. Over the past several years, I have gradually transformed about half an acre into a series of connected habitats using primarily native plants.

Visitors will find a sunny meadow that I established from seed, a woodland garden beneath mature trees, a mixed hedgerow of native shrubs and understory trees, and a natural wildlife pond that supports frogs, toads, dragonflies, and other beneficial creatures. I have planted more than 800 perennials and 140 trees and shrubs to create blooms from spring through fall and provide food and shelter for pollinators and birds. I planted most of the perennials as small landscape plugs, and many of the shrubs and trees as inexpensive bare-root seedlings.

This garden reflects my belief that landscapes can be both beautiful and ecologically vibrant. Come get inspired and enjoy hummingbirds, butterflies, bees, and seasonal flowers. Through this ongoing project, I demonstrate practical ways to replace lawn with habitat while creating a garden that welcomes both wildlife and people.”

Registration required and will be available in early July. This is a private residence and address will be sent to all who register.
