We are the Native Plant Society of Folsom, Louisiana.
Our Next Meeting:
Sunday, January 15, 2011
1:00 p.m.
The Home of Yvonne Bordelon
Driving Directions: Check your newsletter for directions.
This will be a working
meeting. We will package seeds and pot plants in preparation for the booth
at the Plant Show in March. Any native plants or seeds that you can contribute
to the booth will be appreciated.
New Members are always welcome.
Since we will be unable to purchase tree seedlings from the LA Forestry
Dept. this year, we are asking members to start growing plants to be used
for the new membership campaign at the Spring Plant Show in March. Any
extra plants or seeds that you may want to share are would be appreciated.
Fall is the best time to plant most wildflower seeds.
Our Study Focus for Winter
is Winter Tree and Shrub Identification.
For questions or directions, call the library or email us at fnpsinfo@aol.com
or yborde@aol.com.
Consult our on-line
list of seasonal blooms in the Education section for a list of spring
blooming native plants with links to pictures of each.
If you are thinking about doing some sustainable gardening or some landscaping
using native plants, you might want to visit the following sites:
Be sure to check
out the page, the FNPS
Projects and People, to find out more about the good works that we
do to help preserve and protect the native flora and the land and water
of St. Tammany Parish.
For information about landscaping with native
plants check out our page about Creating
Native Plant Gardens and also our Gardening
with Native Plants feature on the Education page. You'll find advice
from FNPS experts about how to grow, propagate and landscape with plants
native to Louisiana.
Our Purpose:
The purpose of our group is to protect, perpetuate,
and propagate the abundant native plants of St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana,
and adjacent areas, focusing primarily on our native wildflowers, which
are fast disappearing; and to discourage pollution of our water and ground
so basic to their survival.
