Join

Members allow us to grow as an organization to not only spread our mission, but to teach others about our ecosystems and the need for more native gardening. Joining Wild Ones is a reasonable investment with a household membership beginning at only $40 a year. Students or people with limited income can join for $25 (National has changed their membership cost and 2021 will be the last year for for this pricing, so if you are on a limited income, you may want to renew for a couple of years at this time). You can join the Columbus Chapter by selecting “OH-Columbus” as your chapter on the Wild Ones online membership form.
 

Benefits of membership include:

  • Wild Ones Journal
  • Wild Ones New Member Handbook
  • All archived Journals
  • Online Wild Ones Discussion Group
  • Annual Member Meeting and Conference
  • Wild Ones Membership Identification Card
  • Special premiums or thank you available with the various levels of membership
