Hosting a native plant giveaway is more than handing out greenery — it’s an opportunity to cultivate stewardship, biodiversity, and long-term impact in your community.

Join us for this practical and inspiring session where we’ll explore the essential do’s and don’ts of organizing a successful native plant giveaway. From selecting the right species and preparing volunteers, to educating recipients and ensuring plants thrive after they leave your site, we’ll cover strategies that move beyond distribution toward meaningful ecological change.

Whether you’re planning your first giveaway or refining an established effort, this webinar will equip you with tools to:

• Choose native plants suited to your region and site conditions 

• Set participants up for planting success

• Avoid common logistical pitfalls

• Strengthen community engagement and follow-up

• Connect plant giveaways to your broader stewardship goals

Native plants do more than beautify our grounds — they restore habitat, support pollinators, and reflect our shared call to care for creation.

Come ready to learn, ask questions, and plant with purpose.

These webinars are supplemental to IPC's Faithful Green Leaders Training Program and are free and open to all.
