Each month we feature a native plant that does well in gardens in our area. When available, all members and visitors who have signed in will get a chance to win a young plant in a drawing we hold at the end of in-person meetings.
Would you like to present a Plant of the Month?
“Plant of the Month” presentations are usually short (2-3 minutes) slideshows prepared and presented by a chapter member. In the past we have covered wildflowers, grasses, trees, and even how parts of these plants can be prepared as food! You do not need to be an expert. Just choose a native plant that you have an interest in, do a little research, and share what you find.
If you are interested in presenting a “Plant of the Month,” please get in touch with Rowena via our Volunteer Form so that we can add your name and plant to our list. Check out our previous presentations below.
