This is a Member Only Event
If you know of anyone interested that is not a Wild Ones member, they will need to join as a member to participate.
Later this year, AEP will be performing construction work that will remove a native prairie and raingarden installation behind a member’s residence. Columbus Wild Ones is organizing this event for members to dig up and take home any plants needing rescue. We ask that you stay to help pot up additional plants to be overwintered for next year’s Wild Ones plant sale in May.
When: September 13, 2025, 9 am – 1 p.m.
Where: Location & updates will be emailed to current members before the event.
