Our sale was a big success! Thanks to the many gardeners who visited our shop, hundreds of native plants are now bringing life to Keweenaw yards. Stay tuned; we’re coming to farmers’ markets, and we’ll have a second sale in September
Welcome to the Wild Ones Keweenaw Chapter
We are on a journey to
- educate ourselves and others about the special attributes of native plants and how to incorporate them into our gardens and civic landscapes;
- create habitat that nurtures wildlife, including bees, butterflies, and birds; and
- develop resilient landscapes that absorb runoff, protecting water quality and infrastructure.
Regular meetings are held at 6:15 p.m., the third Tuesday of the month, on Zoom.
