About

Wild Ones South Shore MA Chapter is a native plant garden group dedicated to promoting environmentally sound landscaping practices on Boston's South Shore. As part of Wild Ones, a national not-for-profit environmental education and advocacy organization, the chapter works to preserve biodiversity through the preservation, restoration, and establishment of native plant communities. Members and community participants learn how native plants serve as essential food and nectar sources for local wildlife, prevent water runoff, lower carbon footprints, and require minimal maintenance. The organization hosts monthly meetups and educational events featuring expert speakers and garden tours, with many events open to non-members for a nominal fee. By joining Wild Ones South Shore MA Chapter, residents can connect with fellow native plant enthusiasts, access expert resources, and contribute to meaningful habitat restoration efforts that benefit both local ecosystems and their own landscapes.
