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.
Our study focus for 2008-2009 is: Sustainable
Gardening.
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.
