Native plants have an incredible ability to adapt to climate extremes, offering sustainable solutions for resilient landscapes. Join Wild Ones and the Native Plant Society of Texas to explore the power of native plants to thrive in challenging conditions.

This event features Christy Ten Eyck, founder of Ten Eyck Landscape Architects. Drawing from her latest Dallas-Fort Worth native garden design, Christy will share insights into designing low-maintenance, ecologically rich spaces that withstand intense climate fluctuations.

You are invited to a meet & greet on Zoom, with a special welcome extended to new members.  Meet other WO members and ask your native gardening questions or any questions you have about Wild Ones and our chapter in particular.  Our chapter has been growing rapidly so we are eager to meet new members and hear what is on your minds.  The format will be relaxed and informal, with a round of introductions followed by Q&A.  This is the first of two time slots scheduled for your convenience.  No pre-registration is required. Meeting ID and Passcode have been emailed to active members.

Neonicotinoid insecticides, commonly known as “neonics,” have become the most widely used insecticides in the U.S., leading to drastic declines in bees, pollinators, birds, and aquatic ecosystems. In this webinar, Lucas Rhoads, Senior Attorney with NRDC’s Pesticides & Pollinators Team, will share expert insights on how neonics impact our environment and pose serious risks to human health. He’ll delve into the harms associated with neonic-treated seeds, which are a major source of contamination, and explore effective policy advocacy strategies to rein in their widespread use without disrupting farmers or landscapers.
