Wild Ones 2024 Conference, Native Landscaping in a Changing World, presented by the Lake to Prairie Chapter. Our chapter’s mission is to educate, which we do with our monthly meetings at the Fremont Public Library, covering a wide range of natural landscaping and environmental education topics. Bringing educators together in one place at this conference will provide a wealth of information for people new to the native plant idea as well as the practiced native gardener.
Over the past 50 years human alteration of the Earth’s climate has accelerated rapidly. We need to get smarter about gardening in an era of weather unpredictability. Embracing native plant species resilient to local climate shifts can help gardeners significantly contribute to environmental preservation. This years’ conference focuses on looking at various approaches to the weather related challenges we may face as we nurture our own gardens and landscape.
