We have rejoiced that the exuberance of native plants and their assorted root systems have greatly helped diminish water issues on our half-acre property.

This year’s annual campaign marks a powerful milestone: the upcoming 75th anniversary of the North Carolina Native Plant Society. Your gift helps sustain us.
