By Andrea Thunem reporting for Native Plant News Spring 2025
Wouldn’t it make sense, you and I have come to the right place, the NC Native Plant Society. We welcome you. You are what matters.
NCNPS is where you can
- Learn the diversity of native plants critical to resilient ecosystems.
- Discover more ways you can use native plants.
- Be part of a movement that restores and protects local habitats.
NCNPS is where you can share your passion. We engage in an array of activities, all for the plants – Invasive Plant Awareness Week, plant swaps, town beautification projects, and a special plants auction at the Annual Picnic Meeting, which this year is May 3rd. Plus, there’s more! Watch your emails and our website for current information.
We hope to see you soon!
