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.
