Native Plant Societies
Almost every state in the US and territory in Canada has a native plant society, a wildflower society, or a WildOnes chapter (or all three!) These nonprofits provide critical resources, seeds, and training for their communities. Often, membership is very affordable ($25-40 USD a year.)

Whew, you made it!
It’s exciting to see so many native plant societies throughout North America, whose mission is to promote, educate, and inspire all of us to plant native. Many of these groups have been doing this work for decades—even generations.
Join your local chapter, follow their Facebook and Instagram accounts, and visit their events when you can. You’ll find other like-minded people who also believe in having gorgeous landscapes that support butterflies, birds, and hummingbirds—for way less work than lawns or non-native plants.
See you at a future native plant society event! In the meantime—happy planting.
