Events

This is a small event exclusively for Wild Ones members. 

We will meet in Nick Dallege's driveway in Iowa City to seed grasses, sedges, and other wildflowers that don't require cold stratification. (Look out for an email that week with Nick's address.)

We will provide: 
• Soil
• The chapter's seed library, which has lots of native grass and sedge seeds. View the list of what we currently have, here: https://cedarrapidsiowacity.wildones.org/seed-library/

What to bring: 
• Gloves
• Seed starting trays
• Any of your own native wildflower, grass or sedge seeds you'd like to sow or donate to the seed library.
 

Join us for a social meetup with other native plant enthusiasts at The Green House, Iowa City's botanical-themed cocktail lounge. 

Everyone is welcome – from beginners to seasoned gardeners – and you don’t need to be a Wild Ones member to attend. Buy yourself a beverage and we’ll provide snacks.

Feel free to bring a friend, some favorite pics from your yard or from nature for “show and tell”, and your biggest question or challenge related to native plants.

Let's tour some members’ gardens! Come explore, get inspired, and exchange ideas about our shared passion, landscaping with native plants.

We will visit four chapter members’ home gardens in the Cedar Rapids area, including:
• an artist's whimsical rain garden
• a one-acre backyard prairie planted from seed in 2020.

All yards are shared “as is” with minimal preparation.

Please RSVP at the link below, so we can notify you in case of weather delay, cancellation, or reschedule.

(Note: due to limited space in some gardens, this event is limited to Wild Ones members only. To join, visit https://members.wildones.org/join/)
