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 would LOVE and APPRECIATE for you to pot up and overwinter some of the plants you take home with you, to donate to next year’s Wild Ones’ May 2026 plant sale!
