Deb sent this for posting. It’s a free Webinar and a book give away.
| Join Wild Ones for a free webinar featuring award-winning ecological designer and author Larry Weaner. Imagine a yard that becomes richer in wildlife and easier to care for with each season! |
| Living in the Liberated Landscape: My Yard Thursday, November 20, 2025 | 6:00 p.m. CT / 7 ET / 5 MT / 4 PTPremiere + YouTube chatRegister: https://wildones.org/living-in-the-liberated-landscape/. All too often in our gardens and landscapes, we think of static compositions of carefully placed and managed plants. But our approach can be more dynamic and arguably more rewarding than that, by taking advantage of plants’ natural abilities to reproduce and proliferate. Learn how to design gardens that consider the reproductive abilities of plants, the ecological processes that affect those plants, and the wildlife that those plants can support. Drawing from 35 years of observation and analysis on his home property, Larry will show how this interactive approach can result in experientially rich, easily managed landscapes that give new meaning to the phrase “partnership with nature”.Bonus: Free Book GiveawayRegister and you’ll be automatically entered to win one of two copies of Garden Revolution by Larry Weaner and Thomas Christopher. Already registered? You’re in. Can’t make it live?Register anyway- we’ll send the recording link after the premiere.

On a recent sunny afternoon, two ladies entered one of our area Corn Mazes, did they find their way out? (insert img1052) They found their way through Lion St. Brown doing his famous headstand; GO Lions! (insert DSC133) They answered all the Lion trivia questions at each checkpoint. (insert img1050) Did they ever get to enjoy their cinnamon apple cider donut? Happy Fall!

from Jennie:
This year my compost pumpkin seems to be a cross between pumpkin and delicata squash, both of which I grew last year. The fruits are larger than footballs and so far do not have the eating quality of the squash. The compost is in the shade, which has favored powdery mildew.
As for Me ( Linda W)…here are some colors and blooms
these are Oriental peony leaves that have changed color.
these hydrangeas always deepen their color in fall.
Fall favorite of the bees Sedum Autumn Joy.
Lots of fall mums ( perennial)
Cafe au lait dahlia
this dahlia wasn’t tagged. But great fall colors.
and lastly I have cosmos overload in the yard

Attached photo is a start from the quince that has been obliterated from the demo gardens for the bike path. Normally a mid- spring-blooming shrub, It is blooming in October along with a few lilacs, Annabel hydrangeas and even apples that I have noticed. The hort term for that is remontant
