Events

Wild Ones Central North Carolina and the Ardmore Neighborhood Association are pleased to invite you to this very interesting program. The event is free. However, registration is required to secure seating.
Many of us have a yard of lawn, non-native foundation plants and even some exotic invasive plants that are hard to control. Wouldn't you like to have a yard full of pollinators, butterflies and birds, with flowers, berries and interest throughout the year? In this talk, Kathy Johnson will present ways to start small as you reduce lawn and introduce native plants to your home environment.
Alison Northup will showcase several native plants particularly suitable for the Piedmont of North Carolina.
