Wild Ones Madison Events

This month’s Hub will be a FREE gathering taking place during our Environmental Fun Fair. Anyone at the fair can stop inside the building to learn about native plant gardening, including: Gardening for Birds - Amy Yocum of Wild Ones Madison will share expert tips on how to create a yard that is both welcoming and safe for our feathered friends. Pollinator Friendly Yards - Judy Cardin, local bumblebee and native plant advocate, will share her knowledge related to flower/bee phenology, bee life cycles, shade flowers for bees, nesting habitat, impact of pesticide use and backyard honeybee hives on native bees, and more. Garden Preparation – Native plants can be incorporated into your home landscape in many ways. Learn about lawn removal, smothering, solarizing, and other techniques for creating space for native plants. Garden Design – Our native garden volunteers will be available to answer your questions and provide resources, including our 3D-printed plant tokens, to help you choose a location and plants for your next native garden project.
