We will continue to meet via Zoom for our chat meetings.  

These are informal and mostly unstructured meetings where anyone can ask questions related to native plants and related topics. Have a question about using native plants in your yard? Have some comments or pictures you want to share? This is the place to be.  Everyone is welcome.

The Zoom Link will open at 6:45 PM.

In this special collaboration, Robin Wall Kimmerer, author, botanist, and founder of Plant Baby Plant, joins youth leader and Nurture Natives founder Esther Bonney for an intergenerational conversation about belonging, reciprocity, and native plant action. 

Together, they will explore questions such as:

How do we create opportunities for young people to have a voice and feel empowered, even when they are not homeowners or decision makers?What kinds of relationships and mentorships help people stay engaged in native plant work over decades?Why do stories, shared practices, and community invitations matter just as much as plant lists?

Robin and Esther will reflect on what invites people into this work, what keeps them here, and what elders and youth have to teach each other.

Member Ran Powers will give a timely presentation on Attracting Bluebirds and Other Native Cavity Nesting Birds.  We cherish all our native wildlife, of course including birds, but see how our native cavity nesting birds face tough and unique challenges, and how you can help!

Ran is a middle Tennessee native, originally from Clarksville, where he gained an early love for the outdoors and wildlife. He's a retired Air Force major and F-111 pilot, was also an airline pilot, and he still flight instructs at Murfreesboro Aviation. Ran's passion for native plants began 31 years ago with a trip to the library. As a self-taught native plant gardener, he says he has had to learn more botanical names than he cares to admit.

We’ll continue our popular Freebie/Swap Table, so if you have any native plants, seeds, nature-related books, or other treasures you wish to re-home, please bring them along.

Everyone is welcome!
