The Florida Native Plant Society
The Florida Native Plant Society is a non-profit formed in 1980 to promote the preservation, conservation, and restoration of the native plants and native plant communities of Florida and the use of Florida native plants in landscaping.
While some members are botanical, environmental or nursery professionals, most of us are just "regular" people who enjoy nature or gardening.
The Dade Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society is one of more than 20 chapters around the state.
Chapter activities include:
Monthly meetings where we learn, share plants, and meet friends.
The monthly newsletter, Tillandsia, with announcements of activities and articles.
Monthly field trips for "botanizing" and enjoying South Florida's environment.
Visits to members' native plant gardens.
Public events to teach others about the beauty and value of native plants and plant communities. The highlight of the year is the DCFNPS "Native Plant Day" in March, where we invite the public to a day of educational programs, walks, displays and plant sales.
Presentation of awards to outstanding science fair projects.
We would like to meet you, so please come to our Dade Chapter meetings on the fourth Tuesday of each month (except August and December).
