Curious about starting a vegetable garden or incorporating edible native plants into your landscape? Join us for an informative session with Alexis Williams of Earth Offerings Garden Consulting and Installation. 

Alexis will answer your questions about designing and planting gardens that are not only beautiful but also bountiful and environmentally friendly.

Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just getting started, this is a great opportunity to learn how to grow food while supporting native ecosystems. Don’t miss this chance to connect, ask questions, and get inspired!

Already have a veggie garden? This gathering is as much a social event as educational. This is a great opportunity to meet with other Wild Ones members and like minded folks.
