Events

Join us for the Greeley Garden Crawl! We'll visit the homes of two Wild Ones members to learn from their experience with incorporating native plants into their gardens and finish with a social at the last stop. If you have extra plants, please bring them to share with other members. If you're looking for a specific plant, put it in the registration comment and maybe someone will bring it!

We will walk the conservation easement of Bayou Hills north of Franktown, identifying native plants from 9am to 11 am, and then share native plants that we have propagated at our workshops or individually.  This is a members only event.  Location address to be shared prior to event.  Please email Pam Schulz at [email protected] to register and supply list of plants that you will bring.  Bringing plants is optional.  We may initially limit the volume of plants per person until we see how many plants and participants are present.  Please do not publicize on facebook and instagram.  

PLEASE NOTE THE DATE CHANGE BECAUSE OF THE HEAT.

We will have a guided tour and then socialize with a bag lunch.

From the RMBG website:  "The Rocky Mountain Botanic Gardens features native plants of Colorado from five ecological zones: Prairie Grasslands, Foothills, Montane, Southwest, and Riparian. Created and maintained by community volunteers, we show the beauty and resilience of native plants to inspire gardeners to plant local. We serve as an educational resource so visitors may identify the plants they meet in the Colorado wilds. Our garden is run as a nonprofit with the mission to foster an understanding and an appreciation of Rocky Mountain native plants and wildlife, and to create a place where people can learn and enjoy the peace and beauty of the natural world. RMBG is free and open to visitors every day from dawn until dusk, except in extreme snowy conditions."

Monthly meeting of the Front Range Chapter's Board of Directors. All members are welcome to attend. Email us at [email protected] if you're interested in joining the call.

You've seen the video of Mike's DIY front yard redo, now visit in person!  Mike Artmann removed his front yard turf and planted a native plant habitat garden, all with plants he grew himself from WOFR seeds and/or obtained from WOFR plant swaps.  This will be fun and inspiring!  We'll be having a brown bag social at a nearby park afterward, so pack a lunch!

We will have a garden tour and social at the home of member Brian Rasmussen (recognize that name from any of your seeds???).  Brian is in the Foothills up Boulder Canyon in the Sugarloaf Mountain vicinity.  Registration is  required; we will have to carpool from Boulder, because Brian's driveway is challenging and requires high clearance.  (If you have 4WD and good clearance and can drive, let us know!) Brian has some interesting spaces--a very bee balm-y meadow, a moist spring, a mixed Ponderosa pine and dry shade area, and more.  He also has an excellent rock garden.
