Free webinar: How to Talk to Your Neighbors (and Your HOA) About Your Garden
Presented by Lorraine Johnson
Wednesday, July 22nd
7:00 PM ET | 6:00 PM CT | 5:00 PM MT | 4:00 PM PT
You planted native. Your neighbor has questions. Maybe your HOA does too.
Growing a native landscape is one thing. Talking about it with neighbors, responding to HOA concerns, or explaining why your yard looks different can be another challenge entirely.
As part of the 2026 Less Lawn More Life Challenge, Wild Ones invites you to join author and community activist Lorraine Johnson for a free webinar on navigating conversations with neighbors, responding to HOA concerns, and building support for native plant gardening in your community.
Free Live Webinar with Community Chat.
Can't make it? A recording will be available.

National Moth Week
Celebrate National Moth Week- July 18th – 26th, 2026
Celebrate national moth week by observing moths in your area, creating moth-friendly habitat, and/or by teaching others about Maryland's moth diversity! Check out the National Moth Week website and their 2026 event map to see and register local mothing events. What is mothing? Observing moths, typically at night by a light source. Taking photos of any moths you see and uploading them to data sharing platforms like iNaturalist allows us to learn more about our local moths and inform future conservation efforts.
