Events

Instructor: John Manion, Kaul Wildflower Garden Curator at Birmingham Botanical Gardens
What to Bring: Sack lunch
Cost: $80 ($70 for WOMT members)
Pre-Registration: Sign-up here

Brief Description:
John Manion, Kaul Wildflower Garden Curator at Birmingham Botanical Gardens, will teach a full day native plant propagation course. Half of the day will focus on propagating from seed and the other half will focus on vegetative propagation.

Details:
Reasons for propagating native plants range from personal enjoyment to the important work of conserving local biodiversity. Populating your own landscape with a diversity of native species is an excellent way to protect them and recreate plant communities that have been lost to development. Further, by using native plants you are improving the survival, health and vigor of countless living creatures, birds, butterflies, and humans!

John Manion, the horticulturalist at Birmingham Botanical Gardens, will instruct participants how to propagate native plants vegetatively and from seed. All who attend will leave with newly sewn seeds, as well as have the opportunity to take home additional seeds, including from some rare species.

This event is sponsored by the Wild Ones Middle Tennessee Chapter,
the Southeastern Grasslands Initiative,
and the Tennessee Plant Conservation Alliance.

A flyer containing the above information is available here.

Note this meeting is on Tuesday due to a room conflict.
 
Pollinators of Tennessee
Rita Venable
Pollinators are needed for 33% of human food crops and 90% of flowering plant reproduction. The world is currently in a pollinator crisis with significant declines in honeybees, native bees, birds, bats, butterflies, and other species. What are the threats? What can we do to help?

Rita Venable is the author of the field guide Butterflies of Tennessee (2014, Maywood Publishing).

She was an assistant biologist with the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation conducting biological surveys in state parks and natural areas with the All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory program.

She has spoken at nature sanctuaries, regional garden expos, landscaping seminars, scientific symposiums, and nature and garden clubs. She has been a guest on “Talk of the Town ; “Tennessee Wild Side” and “Volunteer Gardener” .

Rita is currently involved with consulting on pollinator plants for a 5-acre garden, the “Giving Garden,” in Franklin, TN.

Please share the meeting flyer with anyone who might be interested.

Wild Ones Middle Tennessee chapter will share a double booth with the Tennessee Native Plant Society, the Tennessee Invasive Plant Council, and the Tennessee Naturalist Program.

Members can sign up to staff the booth by emailing Margie Hunter (see recent newsletters sent to members for details).

Plus, two of our member-authors are giving presentations:

Rita Venable, Thursday, Feb 27 at 3:00 PM. Butterflies and Beyond:  the Pollinator Garden
Margie Hunter, Saturday, Feb 29 at 12:00 PM.  Native Plant Communities & Gardening

We will discuss Doug Tallamy's new book Nature's Best Hope. It is not necessary to have completed the book because we will really be talking about the ecological advantages of using native plants rather than exotic ones. We will meet in the Fall Conference Room of the Brentwood Library.

This will be an indoor class for members only. Come learn the basics of native plant propagation by seed.  We will cover topics like direct sowing, cold moist stratification, scarification, and more.  Learn how to select the correct method to break your seed from dormancy. We will offer this class again in the spring when the warmer weather will allow a larger cap. This class is open to Wild Ones members only.

Signup here.

Our chapter will participate in Weed Wrangle again this year. Members select the Weed Wrangle site where they want to volunteer.  Visit Hands on Nashville and search using the keyword "weed" for a list of sites.  You will need to make an account if you haven't already.

Here are some specific sites our chapter is affiliated with.

Grasslands and their Conservation
in Tennessee and Kentucky
Jeremy French

Farm Bill Wildlife Biologist

Incorporating Native Plants into Your Yard
Shannon Trimboli
Native plants are growing in popularity among homeowners and gardeners. Not only are native plants adapted to our crazy weather and soils, they also provide valuable food and resources for pollinators and songbirds. This presentation is jam-packed with information about why native plants can be important additions to your garden, things to consider when purchasing and planting native plants, a few tips on growing native plants from seed, some native plants you might want to consider for your yard, and the pollinators or other wildlife that use those plants.

Shannon Trimboli is a beekeeper, wildlife biologist, author, farmer, and public speaker who lives in Barren County, Kentucky. In 2016, she started Busy Bee Nursery and Consulting which specializes in plants and habitat consulting services for honey bees, native pollinators, and wildlife conservation. Most of the plants she grows for Busy Bee Nursery and Consulting are native to Kentucky and Tennessee. Her first book, Plants Honey Bees Use in the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys, was published in 2018. Shannon also writes a weekly blog about pollinators and backyard wildlife, tips for attracting pollinators and wildlife, highlights of different plants for pollinators and wildlife, and life on the farm and nursery.

See Shannon's website for additional information.  And share the flyer for the meeting with anyone you think might be interested.

The meeting will be via Zoom.

Book:  A Sand County ALMANAC (and Sketches Here and There)

ISBN: 978-0195007770 or 978-0197500262 or other equivalent.  Of importance, the book should contain the three parts: A Sand County Almanac, Sketches Here and There, and The Upshot.

Author: Aldo Leopold

The book under discussion will be Aldo Leopold's seminal work A Sand County Almanac. Often called the father of modern conservation, Leopold wrote many essays on conservation topics and several of those other writings are contained in this 1949 book. His ideas were so far ahead of their time they have remained relevant across the 71-year span since the book's first publication.

Meeting held via Zoom.

When: Oct 29, 2020 7:00 - 8:00 PM Central Time (meeting will open at 6:45 PM).

Please register in advance for this book club meeting.
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

Our Wild Ones Middle Tennessee Chapter and friends will be assisting Swan Conservation Trust with invasive plant removal on a new property adjacent to their Big Swan Headwaters Preserve near Summertown, TN.  The Chinese Privet bushes and Princess Tree saplings are in the stream corridor, producing seeds every year, which travel downstream into a seep wetland that will be restored. Our volunteer work will provide partnership and matching funds for a federal grant to help purchase the new property! So join us for a day of fun! Cynthia Rohrbach, a biologist and board member for the trust, was our chapter's guest speaker in February 2019 (see meeting flyer for additional information) and gave us all a wonderful overview of the great work that the Swan Conservation Trust has done in acquiring grants and fundraising to purchase, restore (if needed), and permanently protect forests and natural areas in the watershed. We will arrive at 10:00 AM at the Swan Creek Baptist Church (easily found with GPS).  From there, we will caravan a short distance to the property which is not so easily found via GPS.
