Events

All members are welcome.  Please email us if you are interested in attending.

Roy Wardell has graciously invited us to a potluck lunch at his home on the Rolling Sand Hills outside of Platteville. Situated amid original prairie, and timed for the Tradescantia occidentalis bloom, this is a wonderful opportunity to see this unique native plant community and grow our friendships sharing a meal of crockpot soups and salads.  A sign up link for potluck dishes will be provided in the registration confirmation email.

Registration is required.  Registration is not yet open for this event.  The meeting location will be provided once you register.

Spouses/partners/significant others are encouraged to attend.  To register them, do an additional registration with their name and your member #.

Parking is limited, so a carpool link will be provided in the registration confirmation email.

Volunteer Sign Up

Join the NOCO Plant Swap Planning Committee at WRV headquarters in Fort Collins to label 2000+ native plants grown by volunteers to be donated and given away for free at the NOCO Plant Swap the next morning.  We'll load them onto trucks and trailers for transporting to the FoCo Xeriscape Garden Party - happening the next morning (June 1st). 

We'll have tags and plant ID covered. We're working outside, so bring gear for rain or shine and shoes and clothes that can get dirty. We have covered open air sheds if it's rainy, but we will work rain or shine.

This is a collaboration between several mission-aligned entities.

This volunteer opportunity does require physically able bodies.

Join us for the first FRWO Native Plant Swap Social in the Pikes Peak Region!

Bring a native plant to share or just bring yourself.  Mingle with fellow members over coffee and conversation.  Share your "successes" and "challenges" with growing native plants in your landscape.

New to native plants?  Welcome!  You'll be glad you came!

Together we're building a vibrant community of "Coloradoscaping" in the Pikes Peak Region!

NOTE: You do not need to bring a plant to receive a plant.

Registration here! The meeting location will be provided when you register.
