Tammany Parish, Louisiana.
Our Next Meeting:

Driving Directions: Check your newsletter for directions.
On March 15 and 16th come visit the FNPS Booth

giving away 3 native plants with each paid membership (or renewal) until
the show ends.
New Members are always welcome.
Have you checked out the new FNPS
Facebook page? If not, you are in
for a surprise. We have posted many native plant photos and links. Members
can also post photos and comments. If you need help identifying a plant,
then post a picture on FNPS Facebook and we'll do our best to help.
Our Study Focus for Fall
is Reseeding/Multiplying Flowering Native Perenials and Sustainable
Gardening.
For questions or directions 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.

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.
