Events

In this special collaboration, Robin Wall Kimmerer, author, botanist, and founder of Plant Baby Plant, joins youth leader and Nurture Natives founder Esther Bonney for an intergenerational conversation about belonging, reciprocity, and native plant action. 

Together, they will explore questions such as:

How do we create opportunities for young people to have a voice and feel empowered, even when they are not homeowners or decision makers?What kinds of relationships and mentorships help people stay engaged in native plant work over decades?Why do stories, shared practices, and community invitations matter just as much as plant lists?

Robin and Esther will reflect on what invites people into this work, what keeps them here, and what elders and youth have to teach each other.

Celebrate National Seed Swap Day with a visit to the library's third floor, where local gardening organizations will be sharing ideas, inspiration, and seeds to help you plan for the growing season ahead. 

The seeds are free, and visitors are welcome to bring seeds of their own to share. This drop in event is open to all and seeds are available while supplies last.

Wild Ones Tri-State Driftless Area will be tabling at this wonderful event. Drop by to say hello, bring your gardening questions, and pick up some free native seeds!
