Our spring and summer meetings are for members only and members will receive email updates as to date, time and place for our meetings in May, July, August and September.
We will not be having a regular meeting in June as we want to encourage our members to head up to Johnson’s Nursery in Menomonee Falls for our annual June plant sale.
Johnson’s is again graciously offering a 40% discount to Wild Ones members on all of their excellent native plant stock (trees, shrubs, flowers, grasses and ferns). The plants are wonderful and the savings are significant and available every day in June (although Johnson’s is closed on Sundays). Stop by on any Saturday and say hello to the chapter reps at the Wild Ones’s information table.
Go to www.kb.jniplants.com to get details of the sale, a look at their Wisconsin Native Plant Guide, their current inventory and numerous articles on native plant topics. Please note that you must have your Wild Ones membership card when you shop – either a paper copy or digital. Find your membership card on the Wild Ones website by clicking on “My Membership”. Don’t miss this sale!

The Milwaukee Southwest/Wehr chapter is an active & vibrant chapter serving southern Milwaukee and Waukesha Counties. We offer new member support, mentoring, an extensive lending library, excellent programs and field trips, seed exchanges, and native plant sales. We pride ourselves on good communication and quality programming in a supportive, friendly setting. Visit us at an upcoming meeting or click on “Join” to join our chapter.
With it’s “roots” in the “Natural Landscaping Club” founded at the Wehr Nature Center in the early 1980s, our group was the second official chapter of the fledgling Wild Ones organization.
Our long history of association with the Wehr Nature Center, part of the Milwaukee County Parks system, has given us a solid foundation on which to grow our membership and influence in southeast Wisconsin.
We meet on the second Saturday of the month at the Wehr Nature Center, 9701 W. College Ave Franklin, WI 53132 (in Whitnall Park in southwest Milwaukee County).
Programs from October through April offer presentations on native plant landscape design; woodland, prairie, wetland and savanna plant communities; native plant support of wildlife and native plant propagation and much more. These meeting are open to the public at no charge. (The Wehr Nature Center charges a small parking fee).
From May through September we tour yards with native plant landscapes and local natural areas. Generally, these tours are for members-only, but memberships are always available on the day of the tour.
