Please dig deep this Giving Tuesday to help us keep growing!

2025 was another busy year for Wild Ones Chesapeake Bay. This year we accomplished the following in support of our mission to promote education, advocacy, and collaborative action.
- 22 plant and seed swaps/giveaways, including 5500 Bona Terra seedlings, 38,800 free milkweed seeds
- 2700 native plants grown at the USGS Bee Lab, 6 Bee Lab plant distributions
- Assisted with 5 gardens, expanding and supporting essential habitat
- Helped 4 seed libraries—36 native seed species donated
All of the above, plus we provided 5 bi-monthly garden chats, outreach tables at 30+ events, 9 workshops, 31 presentations, and 7 nature walks and garden tours. We continued to grow a large following on social media, expanded our email subscribers, and participated in advocacy. Please help us keep on growing!
Our 2025 Annual Meeting includes our 2025 Year in Review video trailer, providing a glimpse of the work done by our chapter volunteers this past year.
We can’t think of any better way to show gratitude and appreciation for our work than a donation to our chapter to help fund our future endeavors. Or perhaps you’d like to help grow our chapter by giving a gift membership to a friend or family member who shares your passion for native plants.

Wild Ones Chesapeake Bay had an exciting second year. We are looking forward to new growth and opportunities in 2026. We are wildly appreciative of your support!
Wishing you a joyous holiday season!!
