Our upcoming webinar with Basil Camu explores practical, evidence based ways to heal suburban and urban landscapes by working with trees, soil, and natural systems, drawing on real world practices from Leaf & Limb and community centered models for restoring life where we live, work, and play.!  

Doug Reith, Local Natural Resources Specialist, will introduce iNaturalist, an easy-to-use app that helps people identify plants and wildlife while contributing valuable data for conservation. Attendess will learn how to make observations, connect with a global community, and support environmental efforts right from their phones.

Join Joey Santore, creator of Crime Pays But Botany Doesn’t, for a candid Wild Ones National Webinar examining how inherited garden aesthetics shape native plant landscapes. Drawing on field experience and real ecology, Joey challenges tidy design norms and explores why dense, irregular plant communities are often the most resilient and ecologically sound.

The Tool Cleaning and Sharpening Workshop is a hands-on session where gardeners can learn easy ways to keep their tools in great shape. We’ll focus on everyday garden tools like pruners and gardening knives, showing how to clean off dirt and rust, sharpen dull edges, and protect tools to help them last longer.

Participants are encouraged to bring a favorite tool to practice cleaning and sharpening techniques during the workshop. You’ll leave with safer, sharper tools that work better, make cleaner cuts for healthier plants, and save you money by extending the life of your equipment.

Registration will be required and will open in February.
