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.
Latest Newsletter:
Newsletters are in Adobe PDF format and require
Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you don't already have this utility, download
it here. We are a little behind in archiving our newsletters. This
will soon be rectified.
Be sure to see our Native
Plant Gallery!
