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.

It's not too early to start preparing for 2026 planting.

Winter sowing in containers is the perfect way to start your native plants from seed. Most natives require seed stratification or a freeze/thaw period to break the seed coat for germination. This method can save you money by growing your plants from seeds, and be spring/summer ready. Winter sowing can also work for perennials, annuals and vegetables! Join us for a hands-on workshop on winter seed sowing.

Master Naturalist Pam Richards, of the Lake Carroll Association Prairie Club, will discuss how to winter sow seeds in enclosed containers. You can grow plants from seeds all winter and transplant these plants right into your garden at the appropriate time.

Pam has been perfecting her winter sowing techniques for three years and produced over one thousand native plants for the 2023 growing season! She will share her knowledge, answer questions and demonstrate different options for winter sowing. Participants will be able to plant one jug during this session.

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.
