Events

Join us to clean seeds for our seed swap in December.  Information will be added in September about seed donations and a volunteer signup will be included.

This event is for current Wild Ones members only and is not open to the public.  Registration is required.

The exact location will be sent to all registered members three days prior to the event.

You do not have to donate seeds to receive seeds at the Seed Swap.

Foot traffic within our event space is limited. Members are discouraged from bringing children due to the space constraints.  We cannot accommodate strollers or wagons.

If you are not currently a member, renew or join here: bit.ly/4owU2VV

We hope you can join us! We’ll have a variety of seed including annuals, perennials,  grasses, shrubs, and trees. We will also have information about how to grow native seed. You don't need to bring seed to attend the event or bring home seed.

If you do have native seed to share, please label each species with this information:
* Botanical Name
* Common Name
* Collection City or County, Elevation, and Year 
* Your First Initial and Last Name
* If your seed is from a wild population rather than a garden site, add “WILD”

We happily accept seed from species native to Colorado and adjacent states. Please avoid cultivars, which might not support native pollinators and wildlife. We do NOT accept seeds from plants designated as noxious weeds.

You can drop off seed before the event in Fort Collins or Longmont. Email [email protected] to coordinate. If you plan to bring seed the day of the event, email the species name(s) to [email protected] ahead of time so that we can prepare information for attendees about your seed.

If you would like to volunteer to help the NoCO Native Plant Exchange Committee at the swap, go to this page and then select Sign up: https://wrv.volunteerhub.com/vv2/lp/noconativeplantexchange/event/6a45cee6-9e15-414c-b2f1-9774fb0d9e85.

Discover the power of ecological garden design in this free national webinar, Living in the Liberated Landscape: My Yard, with award-winning landscape designer Larry Weaner. Join us for a personal look at how dynamic, self-sustaining landscapes can emerge when we partner with nature instead of controlling it. Drawing on more than 35 years of experience, Larry will share practical strategies for designing dynamic gardens that evolve naturally, support biodiversity, and bring lasting beauty to your yard.

Join us for Aurora’s Native Plant Seed Swap—a free community event celebrating the beauty and benefits of native plants! Bring seeds to share or just your curiosity and take home free native seeds for your garden. We will be hosting a swap with fellow gardeners, naturalists and plant enthusiasts.

Discover new species for your garden, learn about winter sowing and connect with others who share a passion for water-wise and pollinator-friendly landscapes. Whether you’re a seasoned seed saver or just starting out, there’s something for everyone.

Please consider contributing regionally native seeds, labeled according to our guidelines:
- Required label information: Botanical Name, Common Name, Date of Collection, Location/Elevation of Collection, and Donor’s First Initial and Last Name.
- Seeds may be brought in small paper/coin envelopes or plastic/glass lidded jars.
- Please do not bring large envelopes of seeds—these make it difficult for participants to take a portion.
- All seeds will be inspected before being accepted. Only regionally native, properly labeled seeds will be allowed.

Join us to clean seeds for our seed swap in December. Text, call, or email Kristine for the address.  a303-885-7567 or [email protected]

Bring seeds (or don't!), bring colanders, cookie sheets, bowls, and strainers to clean seeds (or don't--we have extra!).  

We will chat, clean, and package seeds for our seed swap in December.  Get in contact if you have any questions.  Clean, empty, wide-mouth plastic containers for reuse welcomed.  Empty plant pots and trays for propagation welcome.

Designing with native plants isn’t just about what you grow, it’s about how you shape your space. In this hands-on workshop, Zoe Evans (Plan it Wild) and Heather Evans (Design Your Wild) guide you through the process of creating a cohesive yard plan that supports both your lifestyle and biodiversity.
