Book Sale: We have many educational books available — Come out on December 7th to do some Holiday shopping for the nature lovers on your list. Or pick up a book or two for yourself to help get you through the long winter! Most of our books are already discounted, and Wild Ones members can take advantage of a discount off that discounted price! Ornaments using natural materials: We invite you to collect & share items from nature that you’ve found. Stay awhile & make your ornament at the open house to take home. Or we will provide paper bags so you can take a little of this & that to create your own natural ornament at home. Start looking for interesting natural items now & make sure to bring them to share! Native Seed Swap: Bring in some of your native plant seeds to swap with others at our December meeting. Please label what you have. You don’t need to clean & package what you have (unless you want to). We will supply bags & markers so we can all share! Winter sowing is a great way to get started on a new garden project! Potluck: Feel free to bring your favorite tasty snacks or holiday cookies to share with attendees – and make sure to bring your appetite! Coffee & water will be supplied. Shirt Logos: Two sizes of our chapter logo will be available that can be put on a shirt of your choice. They are white logos approximately 8 inches & 4 inches. Bring your own cotton or polyester blend t-shirt or sweatshirt, and the transfer will be applied while you are present. The price for the large logo, including pressing is $8. The smaller logo will be somewhat less expensive. This event is open to the public and is kid-friendly! Please use the RSVP button below to let us know you’re coming! |
