Our friends at Wild Ones Western Pennsylvania Area have some amazing speakers lined up for their annual symposium! Tickets are on sale now.

Please join Wild Ones Western Pennsylvania Area on Thursday, October 1st 2026 @ 5pm for our fourth annual Symposium as we explore the very intricate connections between native plants, pollinators and regenerative local food systems.

“From Pollinators to Plate: How Native Plants Support Productive Gardens” will bring together local experts to highlight how native plants can help create healthier, more resilient, and more productive gardens and growing spaces. From supporting the bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects that make pollination possible to building greater biodiversity around our food systems, we’ll look at the many ways native plants can work alongside the plants we grow and eat.

Through engaging conversation and practical perspectives, attendees will discover how gardeners, growers, and communities can create food growing spaces that nourish both people and the ecosystems around them.

Dinner and something sweet will be served buffet style and it wouldn't be a WPA Wild Ones Symposium without our friends A Few Bad Apples ~ come celebrate community, learning and an abundant harvest season.

A Swallowtail enjoying this beautiful day! Did you know that Swallowtails are polymorphic? That means individuals can come in different color phases such as yellow or dark. They also have more color receptors in their eyes than we do, meaning they can see colors we can't even fathom! 🤯
