Site visits –  a Wild Ones membership benefit

We will follow guidelines for face masks and distancing

Whether you are a new member or an established member and need some advice on native gardening, need to know what is growing in your yard, need to know how to control invasive plants, or need resources, we are here to help.

We will arrange for a more experienced native gardener to visit your property as a consultant to help you decide on how to use native plants in your landscape.  We do not ask members for money; our reward is seeing you succeed in creating beauty and a native habitat in your yard.

To sign up contact Dave Wendling at 269-366-8857 or [email protected].  Please give me your name, phone number, and email address and he will get with you to arrange a visit.
