Wild Ones, Native Plants/Natural Landscapes is a non-profit environmental advocacy organization that promotes the use of native plants in private gardens and public landscapes.
When you join, you become a member of our Lexington chapter and simultaneously of Wild Ones National.
At the local level, our chapter holds monthly meetings for networking and learning. We proudly offer our annual native plant sale in May to give our community the ability to acquire native plants for their gardens and also offer an online plant exchange, too. We also organize garden visits, hikes and other excursions. We offer volunteer opportunities such as tabling events and managing a wildflower garden at Wellington Park in Lexington. We make available resources for ecological landscaping many of which can be found on this website. We actively network with other environmental organizations in Lexington and the Bluegrass area.
Lexington chapter members are invited to an annual membership meeting in conjunction with a potluck party. We offer grants for which our members can apply to establish new gardens in Lexington or central Kentucky.
The National Organization maintains our local membership list, provides insurance for our local events, upholds our tax-exempt status and provides access to natural landscaping information through its website. It publishes an informative e-magazine, holds an annual conference in August, and offers the “Seeds for Education Grant” which funds educational projects nation-wide using native plants. Wild Ones, Native Plants/Natural Landscapes has over 50 chapters, mostly in the American Midwest, and some in states near Kentucky.
