Welcome to Wild Ones Will County Chapter! We are a new seedling chapter as of March 2026.
Wild Ones chapters are a space where like-minded people gather to support each other in learning about landscaping with native plants and to share with others in their communities and networks about why it’s important to reintroduce native plants into public and private gardens and how to go about doing it. Chapters are where change happens. We are excited to offer local residents the opportunity to expand their impact in the natural landscaping movement and help promote native plants!
- Learn about NATIVE PLANTS enhancing your landscape as they feed nature
- See landscaped native yards at free yard tours of our members
- See rare wildflowers on our NATURE WALKS
- Hear excellent speaker presentations in colder months
- Obtain rare seeds from Northern Illinois native plants at our Seed Exchange
- Receive a monthly Chapter email bulletin

Why native plants?
Dwindling biodiversity is a threat to the foundation of life on earth. In the last century alone, we’ve lost millions of acres of diverse ecosystems. Native plants help protect and restore biodiversity, improve air and water quality and provide wildlife with quality food and shelter. Our vision is native plants and natural landscapes in every community.
