Your yard is already doing something for wildlife. The question is: what's working, what's missing, and what should you do next? 🌿

Join Wild Ones and Zoe Evans of Wildr Places for The Habitat Check-up, a free webinar on seeing your outdoor space through an ecological lens.

We'll check five things: food, structure, water, how you manage your outdoor space, and what's holding your habitat back. You'll leave with realistic next steps for your Place, whatever its size.

📅 Wednesday, November 18 | 6 p.m. CT / 7 p.m. ET

🌿🎉 Celebrating 5 Years of Wild Ones South Bend Chapter!

Since forming in 2021, the Wild Ones South Bend Chapter has been connecting people and native plants throughout the Michiana region of northern Indiana and southwestern Michigan.

Over the past five years, this dedicated group of volunteers has made a lasting impact through educational programs, native plant sales, community projects, and partnerships that promote biodiversity.

Their accomplishments include supporting native plant gardens at the Potawatomi Zoo and Potawatomi Conservatories and publishing Native Plants for Michiana: Planting with Nature and Beauty in Mind, a locally focused resource helping people bring more native plants into their own landscapes.

💚 Congratulations to Wild Ones South Bend on five wonderful years! Thank you to the chapter’s members, volunteers, and leaders for all you do to help native plants and natural landscapes thrive throughout the Michiana region.

🌿 We love seeing Wild Ones voices helping bring native landscapes to a wider audience!

This BBC Earth video explores the unexpected benefits of rewilding our gardens—from supporting biodiversity and healthier ecosystems to improving our own well-being.

We’re especially excited to see Esther Bonney, Wild Ones Honorary Director and lifetime member of the Wild Ones Chesapeake Bay Chapter, featured in the video.

It’s a great reminder of the difference we can make by giving nature more space right outside our doors.

🌿 Celebrating 5 years of Wild Ones Mid-South Chapter!

For five years, Wild Ones Mid-South Chapter has been connecting people and native plants across western Tennessee, eastern Arkansas and northern Mississippi.

From planting native trees in Midtown Memphis and partnering with Memphis Botanic Garden to sharing native plant knowledge throughout the community, chapter members and volunteers are helping create healthier, more resilient landscapes across the Mid-South.

Their work is a wonderful example of what can happen when people come together to learn, plant and take action in their own communities.

Congratulations to Wild Ones Mid-South on five years of growing the native plant movement! Here’s to many more. 🌱

You can stop here if this is all the space you have! The pollinators will come! Here is a photo of native coreopsis planted in a container on my back deck, happily attracting pollinators!”

🌱 Our soil is living infrastructure.

Beneath our feet is a living system where plant roots, fungi, microorganisms, insects, and organic matter work together to support healthy, resilient landscapes.

That hidden world inspired the cover of the Fall Wild Ones Journal, the latest installment in our Year of Climate Action art series. Created by Wild Ones member and artist Rachel Balk, the illustration celebrates the essential role healthy soil plays in supporting native plants, cycling nutrients, absorbing and storing water, and creating habitat.

“Soil Is Living Infrastructure” is now available as a poster in the Wild Ones shop: https://shop.wildones.org/products/soil-is-living-infrastructure-poster

Rachel is a member of the Greater Kane County Wild Ones Chapter and shares her gardening, artwork, and native plant adventures on Instagram at .
