Our chapter's goal is to preserve, conserve, and restore the native plants and native plant communities of Florida. And so we learn about various topics related to native plants, including their importance in providing native habitats, promoting biodiversity, and carving the pathway to sustainability. Check out our calendar to see our upcoming speakers and topics.

Whether you're a seasoned native expert, or just starting your journey, our meetings offer something for everyone.

Learn from experienced members of our community who will share valuable insights on getting involved in conservation, exploring our Natural Areas, and creating your own sustainable garden. Connect with fellow environmental advocates and native plant professionals, exchange ideas, ask questions, and gain inspiration.

Our popular native plant drawing follows the speaker program. This is a great way to learn from our knowledgeable members who share their expertise on specific native plants in hand, and it’s an opportunity to add hard-to-find plants to your own landscape.

Don't miss the chance to connect with like-minded individuals; these meetings are a fantastic opportunity for champions of nature to gather and share their love for native plants, wildlife, and gardening.

All are welcome. We embrace diversity, knowing our community is stronger when it includes many voices, backgrounds, and perspectives.
