Join Wild Ones National Board President Loris Damerow for a special presentation as part of Week 3 of the 2025 Less Lawn More Life Challenge, “Native Plants Planted Right.” Loris will walk us through the basics of native plant gardening- from choosing the right plants to planting and maintaining them with confidence.

Join us on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, at 5 p.m. CT for the YouTube Live premiere of this 30-minute webinar. Native plant experts from  Wild Ones, Plan it Wild, Homegrown National Park, ReWild Your Campus, and others will be active in the live chat throughout the presentation and for 30 minutes after the webinar, giving you plenty of time to ask questions and engage! 

This event is designed for newcomers to native gardening and is part of the national Less Lawn More Life Challenge, hosted by Plan It Wild in collaboration with Wild Ones, iNaturalist, Homegrown National Park, Pollinator Partnership  and many others!

Yes, they do!  Discover how by joining nature photographer Janet James as she shares colorful images and describes how she learned to really “see” the engineering, architecture, and designs of native tree features.  She has photographed all aspects of the 120 Kentucky species. Find out also how to participate in a citizen science, national tree observation project.

Janet will lead a follow-up tree walk that focuses on a variety of Kentucky native tree and shrub species not commonly seen in our state’s natural areas or have intriguing botanical features.  We will walk on paved or mulched paths and grassy areas.
