Welcome to Wild Ones Greater Richmond Virginia Chapter!
Chartered in 2023, our chapter is one of six (count ’em, six!) Wild Ones chapters now serving the Commonwealth of Virginia. Additional chapters are the Wild Ones NoVA Chapter, based in Centerville; Wild Ones Eastern Shore of Virginia (Seedling) Chapter, serving Accomack and Northampton Counties and adjacent areas; Wild Ones Greater Lynchburg Area (Seedling) Chapter, based in Lynchburg; Wild Ones Roanoke Region Chapter, based in Roanoke; and Wild Ones Shenandoah Valley (Seedling) Chapter, based in Broadway.
Here in the Richmond area, our chapter is growing to serve residents of the city of Richmond and communities in Charles City, Chesterfield, Cumberland, Goochland, Hanover, Henrico, New Kent, and Powhatan counties. We also welcome members from adjacent areas.
We promote environmentally friendly, sound landscaping to preserve biodiversity through the preservation, restoration, and establishment of native plant communities across the United States.
Wild Ones chapters are a space where like-minded people gather to support each other in learning about landscaping with native plants and to share with others in their communities and networks about why it’s important to reintroduce native plants into public and private gardens and how to go about doing it. Chapters are where change happens.
We look forward to every opportunity we have to help local residents build habitats that incorporate native plants and support biodiversity, increase the use of sustainable practices that support healthy ecosystems, and expand their impact in the natural landscaping movement!
