Events

The long-awaited event you’ve all been asking for is finally happening! 

Join us for a hands-on winter sowing workshop—and the best part? It’s at a brewery!

Our very own board member, Meagan Concannon, will be leading the way, showing us how it’s done step-by-step and answering all of your questions as you get to prepare your own winter sowing containers.

What to Bring:

-Your own plastic gallon jug
-Your seeds

We’ll provide everything else you need to get started. Grab your jug, your seeds, and a drink, and let's sow some native plants together!

New to native plants or curious to learn more about native gardening and keystone species and their vital role in supporting ecosystems? Join us for an engaging session with our Wild Ones member, Sarah Flanders. Sarah is an experienced educator who teaches about native plant gardening throughout the Pittsburgh area. 

Sarah will be able to answer your questions on starting your native garden and the importance of keystone species. 

Perfect for beginners and anyone looking to deepen their understanding of how to create thriving, biodiverse landscapes!

Join the Western Pennsylvania Wild Ones for our 3rd Annual Symposium that explores the vital connection between communities and native ecosystems. This engaging event will feature thought-provoking panel discussions with experts and advocates, delicious food, refreshing drinks (including alcoholic options), and ample opportunities for socializing and networking. Together, we’ll reimagine our role in fostering harmony between human activity and natural habitats while celebrating the power of community. Whether you’re a conservationist, gardener, or simply a nature enthusiast, this gathering promises to leave you inspired and “naturally connected.”

Let’s grow together—because building stronger communities starts with restoring the land we share.

The panelists include:

Adam Haritan (Learn Your Land)
Nick Liadis (Bird Lab)
and more!

TICKETS ON SALE SOON!

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.
