Whatever your interest—protecting natural places, adding native plants to your garden, photographing wildflowers, or lending expertise to our community of native plant enthusiasts—there’s a place for you here. Together we’re working to create healthy ecosystems, teach the next generation to love the land, and save the wild beauty of Indiana.
We promote the appreciation, preservation, scientific study, and use of plants native to Indiana; and teach people about their beauty, diversity, and importance to our environment.
We envision an Indiana whose citizens treasure and protect their native plants and the web of life that relies on them and who use native plants in public and private landscapes.
