Wild Ones: Native Plants, Natural Landscapes is a brand committed to promoting environmentally sound landscaping practices to preserve biodiversity through the preservation, restoration, and establishment of native plant communities. Their mission is to heal the Earth one landscape at a time. As part of their efforts, Wild Ones offers the Lorrie Otto Seeds for Education Program, which provides grants for native plant gardens and landscaping projects that engage youth in hands-on learning.

These grants, ranging from $100 to $500, are available to public and private schools, non-profit organizations, and community centers throughout the United States. Projects funded by the program include pollinator gardens, rain gardens for water quality improvement, tallgrass prairies, and native plant monarch waystations. Wild Ones members play a crucial role in supporting this program and are encouraged to provide guidance and resources to project recipients.
